I can hear the promise of a broken man
Looking for love across a desert land
People never make it on their own when the raging rivers flow

One morning in September so many years ago
It hurts but I remember the days were getting cold
He was standing in my doorway
And I was just a child
It was early in the morning I looked into the sky

I can hear the promise of a broken man
Looking for love across a desert land
People never make it on their own
When the raging rivers flow

The bruises they are fading
Fading into yesterday
Just like time is never waiting
The pain remains the same

I can hear the promise of a broken man
Looking for love across a desert land
People never make it on their own
There's a place in my that I just will not go
Oh brother do or dare
Half of me is breaking me in despair
People never make it on their own
When the raging rivers flow

The day that I remember so many years ago
It was a morning in September
The days were getting cold
You never know tomorrow living on a battleground
You only have your heart to follow when love don't make a sound

I can hear the promise of a broken man
Looking for love across a desert land
People never make it on their own
There's a place in my that I just will not go
Oh brother do or dare
Half of me is breaking me in despair
People never make it on their own
When the raging rivers flow

We'll never make up again while the raging rivers flow
We'll never make up again, there's a place that I won't go
We'll never make up again while the raging rivers flow
We'll never make up again, there's a place that I won't go

We'll never make up again while the raging rivers flow
We'll never make up again, there's a place that I won't go
