You know when the sky is blue 

And the wind cuts right through

The sun shines on you alone

Every step you take you nearer home



And I love the river 

That carries us on 

In one direction 

Bringing me nearer, nearer home



But you haven' made it yet

No you haven't made it yet 



The sky turns grey 

And the river runs high

Running faster

Passes you by 



Ghosts of life

Are following you 

With a bit of luck 

You can make it through



I thought I heard you sigh 

When you thought that you were there

But the world turns for you alone

Every step takes you nearer home
