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
