The River

With a face like stone
She said she had to move on
Even now looking back don't know
How she got so strong so young

Said some people are like the river
Won't be happy 'till they meet the sea
And this young man's the lance
Running through the heart of me

Always lived my life in the future tense
Never been one for reminiscence
But now I see more behind me than I do ahead
Now this life feels like a crowded room
Seen from and empty bed

Now this life is like the river
Rollin' to the sea
And this young man's the lance
Running through the heart of me

Now this life is like the river
Rollin' to the sea
And this young man's the lance
Running through the heart of me

Always been one for flesh and bone
Never been one to call a house a home
But now I know wherever I end up
Is where I'm supposed to be
I used to call it lonely
But now I call it free

This young man's the river
Down lookin' for the sea
Windin' through the land
Pushin' from the heart of me

This young man's the river
Down lookin' for the sea
Windin' on through the land
Pushin' from the heart of everything
