lyrics

On a houseboat, and your parents are for a swim.
They're back at sunset if the river don't take them.
And hours are slipping by, you've gotta go.
Time will teach us what we need to know.
We're at the front door, and we're waving goodbye.

From the corner of my window, over the Brooklyn skyline,
a cloud with a name will bring us closer.
But no, I'm not flying with you.
I've got too much of my own to do.
I'll see you on the other side of hope.

From your apartment you offered me riches. I know I took a few.
I ran home, sick as hell, and I slept year through.
And over river, there's darkness coming,
but that river keeps running and running.
Over land there's blood flowing, a land I was born not knowing.

I can't play the part you want me to be.
I'm through the forest, and now all I can see
is a palace in yonder hill. If you stop you may get your fill.
But you're walking the land your own way. There isn't anything else to say.
I hope we meet on that old hill someday.
