A House By The River Lyrics

Allan Taylor A House By The River

A house by the river

You traded all your lover

for a house by the river

And all those sweet deceptions

and one more broken vow

And the dark-eyed poets

who promised you forever

Tell me,where are they now

Where are they now



You were always running

just one more step ahead

And just like all the others

I was following somehow

Was it something I wasn't saying

something I should have said

Tell me,where am I now

Where am I now



Now sweet solitude surrounds you

like a blanket of wind heather

You are one with the land

and the sky somehow

And the seasons sway yin sympathy

as you dance in time together

Tell me,where are you now

Where are you now



I will write a song for you

and try to fill this space

And I'll take the time in passing

to wonder from afar

Maybe I'll try to find you

though you never left a trace

And maybe then I will know

who you are

Maybe then I will know

who you are ...
