Where The River Bends Lyrics - Colin Vearncombe

I can't find my way home 

It's still a place I need to be 

Can someone show me any place, 

That could be home for me 

Not back there in the North 

In the windswept bitter cold 

With the sidewalks growing grass 

Where we would only grow old 

And all the mines are gone 

But no one knows or cares 

If a thing is not nailed down 

It was never there 

I still remember how it seemed 

An old-world symphony of tears 

And now what I want's always beyond my reach 

Where the river bends

Wasn't down here in the South 

Always on nightshift or on call 

There's no sunshine in the streets 

The buildings grew so tall 

And no-one sees your eyes 

But from a corner of their own 

And they only really feel it when the balance has all gone 

They don't care how 

And they don't care why 

It's enough to make a grown man cry, and I do 

What's it to you? 

If I can't find my way home 

And it's still a place I need to be 

Seems what I want's always beyond my reach 

And where the river bends 

Photos 

Singing songs down from the trees 

To race across the open fields 

Around the trucks like carrion for the fall 

And the fruit we tried to steal 

I cannot find my way home, 

Empty places packed and gone 

As if what I want's always beyond the point 

Of where the river bends 

Just where the river bends 

Where the river bends
