|
I want to reach out over the lough |
|
And feel your hand across the water |
|
Walk with you along an unapproved road |
|
Not looking over my shoulder |
|
I want to see |
|
I want to hear |
|
To understand your fears |
|
But we're north and south of the river |
|
I've been doing it wrong |
|
all of my life |
|
This holy town has turned me over |
|
A young man running from what he didn't understand |
|
As the wind from the lough just blew colder and colder |
|
There was a badness that had its way |
|
But love was not lost |
|
it just got mislaid |
|
North and south of the river |
|
Can we stop playing these old tattoos? |
|
Darling I don't have the answer |
|
I want to meet you where you are |
|
I don't need you to surrender |
|
There is no feeling so alone |
|
as when the one you're hurting is your own |
|
North and south of the river |
|
Some high ground is not worth taking |
|
Some connections are not worth making |
|
There's an old church bell no longer ringing |
|
And some old songs not worth singing |
|
North and south of the river |
|
North and south of the river |
