With a face like stone
She said she had to move on
Even now looking back don't know
How she got so strong so young
She said some people are like the river
Won't be happy till they meet the sea
And this young man's the land
She's running through the heart of me
Always lived my life in the future tense
Never been one for reminiscence
But now I see more behind me
Than I do ahead
And this life feels like a cluttered room
Seen from an empty bed
Now this life is like the river
Rolling to the sea
And this young man's the land
It's running through the heart of me
This life is like the river
Rolling to the sea
And this young man's the land
It running through the heart of me
Always been one for flesh and bone
Never been one to call a house a home
But now I know
Wherever I end up is where I'm supposed to be
I used to call it lonely
But now I call it free
And now this young man's the river
I'm looking for the sea
Winding through the land
Pushing from the heart of me
This young man's the river
And I'm looking for the sea
Winding through the land
Pushing from the heart of everything
