I'll return under the cover of night

oh those were simpler times

we'd take a walk through the park and go out after dark

obsessed with only ourselves.

I'll return like a river running home

i'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm..

I took a train there then another somewhere cos you were on my mind.

you'll make a name for yourself

you'll make a life somewhere else far from this great town

I'll return like a river running home

i'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

But you'll never be just another river that runs into the sea

you'll be more something more.

I know you'll worry

I won't return you worry

I might get lost but I'm lost if I stay here.

But I'll return like a river running home

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
