This river runs uphill, without end And where it goes No one knows One simply cannot understand You said there are no dead ends Even so - it seems as though We've circled back here once again This river flows nowhere, so endlessly If there's a way (though who's to say?) Let this river meet the sea We've always been here And if we're never to reach the land The Loreley's command Keeps us all dreaming And we'll sleep in the deep of a curious sea Let them drown your soul in waves Take my hand, bid a last farewell to the land And here we'll stay In the deep we will be unseasonably Beyond the pale This river flows nowhere, so violently But it's the way, our only way And ever after we shall be And we'll go down, down, down, down, down Much further down than we have ever been And we'll sleep in the deep of a curious sea Let them drown your soul in waves Take my hand, bid a last farewell to the land And here we'll stay In the deep we will be unseasonably Beyond the pale And we'll sleep in the deep of a curious sea Let them drown your soul in waves Take my hand, bid a last farewell to the land And here we'll stay In the deep we will be unseasonably Beyond the pale If you ever want to see me again...
