Wasn’t it a dream? You lead me to the water The moon on the horizon I was so far under The memories In all their repetition The dogs are far behind me Loosed to wander free here Emptied of my pride The loneliness I feel inside Come to rest my soul Why is it I don’t recognize your face And why you’ve brought me to this place I sit in darkness now While my prayers release me
Looking for the river but the river’s in the sky My clock is running backwards and my heart is out of time We’re never gonna get it while we’re fighting over love songs I lean into the wind but the wind’s about to die The sun is in my face and my tears are running dry We’ll never work it out while we’re fighting over love songs
So I travel onward The sand is getting hotter My eyes are growing weary While I dig for water To fill me To wash away the journey To give my life a reason To finally free me Searching other ways Ones that beg for me to stay I’ve come here seeking hope In the land of meaning
(Chorus)
Tempted by the rules Segregation made by fools We’ll all stand-alone 'Till we drink the water
(Chorus)
The walls are falling down while the future’s going by Looking to the havens in a world about to die We’re never gonna save it while we’re fighting over love songs We talk about the peace while the wars are taking lives Our heart’s about to break while our children are denied They’re never gonna get it while we’re fighting over love songs
