The River of Sadness by Rikard Sjblom Lyrics

I. The River of Sadness
Stars align, the passing of time
How you work me, I can’t understand
Up and down and round and round we go, go, go
A river of sadness, the flow of things is hars to understand

Tell it again like it was the very first time
In the songs where I first heard your voice
It’s the place I love the most, still I have to go
Tear it all up, I need my mind as blank as snow
I gotta watch myself let go of you
Is it really true?
So what did I say to you when I was at your door?
Like a million times before I gotta watch myself let go

Far out now - time to head back
The open sea - my hunting ground
The great unknown that lies beneath the salt and foam
But where is home when you’re not there?

II. Salt and Foam
Down, down, down we go
On the river of sadness
A flow of things that I can’t understand

III. The Distant Shore
They told me to live my life while I’m young
The dream is for everyone
So I lived my life in a song
Where I felt the red, warm sun
In a flash it’s gone
I cannot believe that I tried to let to you go
I swam to reach a distant shore
But then jumped back in for more, like I have before
I’m an open sore
In the arms of my true love

IV. In Orbit
[Instrumental]

V. The River of Sadness (reprise)
Tell it all again…
