lyrics

The fog is lifting above the river
Separates these shores
Worn down by time
The stream is surging
It’s silently urging me
To look at its reflection
And everything it holds

Well I’ve finally found an answer
It’s not what I expected
But I can only thank you
For giving me the truth
Now I won’t wonder
And I need not bother you
With questions that fluster
And force you to retreat

Well I know that change will come
But I won’t go
If we can’t find forgiveness
There’s no peace we can know
It’s just and early warning that I’ll take
And I could let it throw me down
But I can’t afford to break

There’s a haunting feeling
A voice that’s appealing
To hear things clearly
And set my mind to rest

You wash the tired illusions from my eyes
You spared me all the dangers
Of those seductive lies

All I believe I must let go
All we conceive time can only know
Stand beside me see this river flow
Look into its currents
Moving logs and shaping stones

Well I’ve finally found an answer
It’s not what I expected
But I can only thank you
For giving me the truth
Now I won’t wonder
And I need not bother you
With questions that fluster
And force you to retreat

Stand beside me see this river flow
Look into its currents
Moving logs and shaping stones
