A house by the river

You traded all your lover


for a house by the river


And all those sweet deceptions

and one more broken vow


And the dark-eyed poets


who promised you forever

Tell me,where are they now


Where are they now




You were always running


just one more step ahead


And just like all the others

I was following somehow


Was it something I wasn't saying


something I should have said

Tell me,where am I now


Where am I now




Now sweet solitude surrounds you


like a blanket of wind heather


You are one with the land

and the sky somehow


And the seasons sway yin sympathy


as you dance in time together

Tell me,where are you now


Where are you now




I will write a song for you


and try to fill this space


And I'll take the time in passing

to wonder from afar


Maybe I'll try to find you


though you never left a trace

And maybe then I will know


who you are


Maybe then I will know

who you are ...
