Till the River

I can speak you know But my thoughts betray me. And all the answers go Slip through my fingers. My silence swallows me My desparation eaten by the valley below My screams are silence, come out plain My mind though balanced, clearly insane Bygone - till the river - runs dry Now the skies scream mourning Love like just hello and goodbye Seems like the same old mawkish story Damn you, why'd you ... have to leave me sorry Damn you, why'd you ... have to go away And leave me all alone Dried white like bone
