I
used to sit up all night
With
the lyrics in my hand like a prayerbook
Maybe
no-one ever writes
Songs
like that these days or it’s me that’s changed
But
anyway I never have the time
I
never seem to have the time these days
And
I feel like a fish out of water trying to breathe
Twisting
and turning but the water is out of my reach
You
could say that it’s just how life goes but I still dream
Of
rivers running out to the open sea
We
used to lie awake all night
And
talk until the daylight filled the room
Maybe
there’s nothing left to say
Or
maybe there’s just too much else to do
Well
anyway we never have the time
We
never seem to have the time these days
And
I feel like a fish out of water trying to breathe
Twisting
and turning but the water is out of my reach
You
could say that it’s just how life goes but I still dream
Of
rivers running out to the open sea
Cool
dark river, cool dark stream
Take
me with you out to open sea
