I'll return under the cover of night
Oh, those were simpler times
We'd take a walk through the park
And go out after dark
Obsessed with only ourselves
I'll return like a river running home
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm
I took a train there then another somewhere
'Cause you were on my mind
You'll make a name for yourself
You'll make a life somewhere else
Far from this great town
But I'll return like a river running home
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
But you'll never be
Just another river that runs into the sea
You'll be more, something more
I know you'll worry
I won't return, you'll worry
I might get lost but I'm lost if I stay here
But I'll return like a river running home
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry
