The River Songtext
von Wall of Sleep

River flows, waves burn in their marks
Banks of life are charred to the heart
White-hot eyes slowly fade
Embers of memories, smouldering faith
River flows, waves burn in their marks...

Can you hear my voice?
This flood is so high nowhere to run
Sheet ice of life thaws...
Some passing looks and I′ll be gone


River flows, waves burn in their marks
Banks of life are charred to the heart
Footsteps are to wash away
Eyes to close, shroud to lay
River flows, waves burn in their marks

Orbit of my questions
Orbit of your lies
Draws an arch over my melting days
Orbit of my questions
Orbit of your lies
Draws a court for life to believe in a play
Someone looks for a shepherd
Someone looks for a sheep
The same old story's told for thousands of years
Orbit of my questions
Orbit of your lies
Rising, falling and a couple of days between...
