You'd better cover your face tonight

Someone might take it away

I've been watching with second sight

And I don't like what I see

There's a shadow over me



River to river I call your name

Waiting for the water to rise

Anything forgotten is all the same

To a lover who lies

To a lover who lies



Now I've got an answer to what you need

But I'll never give it away

For each desire that isn't freed

One thing still remains

But your world is wrapped in chains



River to river I call your name

Waiting for the water to rise

Anything forgotten is all the same

To a lover who lies

To a lover who lies



Running lonely here

It's cold and lonely here

I shiver in the night, shiver in

Running lonely here

It's cold and lonely here

I shiver in the night



I'd better cover my heart tonight

Someone might take it away

I've been watching you dress in white

For someone else's touch

And well, I don't need you that much



River to river I call your name

Waiting for the water to rise

Anything forgotten is all the same

To a lover who lies

To a lover who lies



River to river I call your name

Waiting for the water to rise

Anything forgotten is all the same

To a lover who lies

To a lover who lies



You'd better cover your face tonight
