By A River Lyrics

Violet Hour By A River

By a river
 The colours of the land
 Emerge before my eyes
 Soothing winds that blow my cares away
 Through the trees
 Call the priest, his wife, his friends, the police
 I had to run away
 Leave this all behind
 Close your eyes
 Wan goodbye, goodbye
 I didn't see the point
 Couldn't take the load
 Drift away
 Above me a new day's growing old
 Bound by the chains of a crippling debt
 Slipping through the dreads of a foolproof net
 Run away
 Far away
 Shaped by the laws of deception and greed
 Stamped and rejected I beg to be freed
 Lose the key
 Lose the key
 I had to run away
 Leave this all behind
 Close your eyes
 Wan goodbye, goodbye
 I didn't see the point
 Couldn't take the load
 Drift away
 Above me a new day's growing old
 By a river
 The colours of the land
 Emerge before my eyes
 Soothing winds that blow my cares away
 Through the trees
