[Verse 1]
I watch the moon hang in the sky
I feel the traffic rushing by
Freight train engine in the night

My eyes blind by headlights' glare
I'm still here, waiting for you
[Verse 3]
I take the night train to sky
Rising up, I close my eyes
The ground beneath me, dead and dry
I'm still here, waiting for you
[Verse 4]
But I won't cry another tear
For all the pain we saw last year
The river thirsts for those who fear
And I'm still here, waiting for you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
We once walked these streets
In search of the unthinkable
We tried to be invisible
It only made us miserable
[Verse 6]
I once lost it all
In a game that can't be won
I took a chance and had to run
The river was the only one
[Verse 7]
Will you leave it all behind?
Water rushing through your mind
The river's thirst is so unkind
But I'm still here, waiting for you
