I'll return under the cover of night
oh those were simpler times
we'd take a walk through the park and go out after dark

obsessed with only ourselves.
I'll return like a river running home
i'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm..

I took a train there then another somewhere cos you were on my mind.
you'll make a name for yourself
you'll make a life somewhere else far from this great town

I'll return like a river running home
i'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
But you'll never be just another river that runs into the sea

you'll be more something more.
I know you'll worry
I won't return you worry

I might get lost but I'm lost if I stay here.
But I'll return like a river running home
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
