Across some blood red river
 Never did find my way home
 In time to forgive her

 Why must people always want what they can't have?
 Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?

 How did we get so far?
 How do we move so fast away
 From the lilac-lilied lake
 I'm sure we used to play
 Is it only a dream away?

 Took a raft I found
 Across some blood red river
 Never did find my way home
 In time for my dinner

 Why must people always want what they never have?
 Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?

 How did we get so far?
 How do we move so fast away
 From the lilac-lilied lake
 I'm sure we used to play
 Is it only a dream away?
 Only a dream away

 Lost a friend
 I found down some blood red river
 Never did find my way home
 In time to forget her

 Why must people always want what they can't have?
 Why must people always take, but forget to ask?

 How do we get so far?
 How do we move so fast away
 From the lilac lilied lake
 Where I'm sure where we used to play
 Is it only a dream away?
 Only a dream away
