Wide River

Wide, wide river on the way to Keris home
There is a girl she is standing, standing on her own
Shows no fear of darkness, no need for colour frames
She's always in the same place but she never looks the same

Run, run faster on the way to Keris home
There is a cold wind after you, you don't know what you've done
She could be there for all I know, she could be skin and bones
I don’t know if she's lost or if she wants to come home

Into the storm again, the seagulls call her
They circle round the carcass of her dreams
She flies up to cut loose, no one can follow her
Into the storm again

And it rains again
And it rains again
And it rains

Hate their sin and providence, well I think there's something wrong
Haven't seen Kerilise all day, I don't know where she's gone
She could be dead for all I know, be swinging on a limb
I don't know if she's slipped or if the bailiffs pushed her in

Into the storm again, the seagulls call her
They circle round the carcass of her dreams
She flies up to cut loose, no one can follow her
Into the storm again

And it rains again
And it rains again
And it rains
And it rains
And it rains
And it rains
And it rains
And it rains
And it rains
And it rains

Into the storm again, the seagulls call her
They circle round the carcass of her dreams
She flies up to cut loose, no one can follow her
Into the storm again

Into the storm
Into the storm
Into the storm
Into the storm
Into the storm again
