Tell me what I've got to do
To get my mind away from you
Spell it out in black and white
Close the brackets, do it right

It's just a dead-end street
Rain and thunder where two rivers meet
And you always took the best from me
Hit by lightning underneath a tree

I can't walk on water
Or still the raging sea
And I can't move a mountain
Or live eternally

No use being what you're not
Or crying over what you ain't got
Close the blinds, turn out the light
Then you won't see what you don't like

It's just a dead-end street
Don't you know it 'cause it made you weep?
I can't show it but it gets me down
I'm sick of living in this dead-end town

I can't walk on water
Or still the raging sea
And I can't move a mountain
Or live eternally

For I am just a free bird
Hanging in the air
Don't care about tomorrow
'Cause I know you're not there

So walk on silver water
Calm the raging sea
Climb up in the mountains
And wait up there for me

For I am just a free bird
Hanging in the air
Don't care about tomorrow
'Cause I know you're not there

Walk on silver water
