All alone in bridge of silence
I suppose you shouldn't stay,
All alone in dream's asylum
Don't you know we've come a long wayI suppose we were
Somewhere in the sun
We walked in coloured fields
In places on the run.What a dream I had
Dressed in coloured shawls
Though the night was so warm
And a nightingaleSat on a castle wall
While the river ran on
Calling, hearing you call
The river ran onRunning
The river ran on.
It felt as if we were
In places yet unknownWe walked through the bazaars
In places on the run
What a dream I had
Walking by the wallOh the raiment and all
The stars that flickered by
Soon to be replaced
If I asked them they'd fallCalling, hearing you call
The river ran on
Running
The river ran on.What a dream I had
Dressed in coloured shawls
Though the night was so warm,
And in the darkness ITried to take your hand
But it was nothing at all.
Nothing at all
The river ran onNothing at all.
The river ran on.
