River there are no stars in the city Here there is no telephone in the trees Beautiful days fall on the waters And all I can do is write you a letter River It's cold here in the morning Later, I can see it in your eyes Wild and white we follow the canyon quiet at night we stare at the skies Leaving you now will never change me Runnin' away will just change the view All I can see is the highway River You'll carry me through the fire Maybe you'll drown me in your arms But if I die like that it won't be like dyin' When I rise again the ashes are gone Leaving you now will never change me Runnin' away will just change the view All I can see is the highway All I can see is you
