Blood Red River

[Verse 1]
Took a friend I found across some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forgive her

[Pre-Chorus]
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp?

[Chorus]
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?

[Verse 2]
Took a raft I found across some blood red river
Never did find my home in time for my dinner

[Pre-Chorus]
Why must people always want what they never had?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled?

[Chorus]
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away

[Verse 3]
Lost a friend I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home in time to forget her

[Pre-Chorus]
Why must people always want what they can't have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?

[Chorus]
How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
Where I'm told we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream, only a dream away
Away
