I always cry, on the train back home Watchin' the world outside, I used to know Soon as I get there I have to go And the years go by, don't even know where I've been In the blink of an eye, could've all been a dream But I have to find somewhere To call my home Soon as I get there I have to go With two hands, meant to shape the land Just like a river does, just like a river does Another day breaks, and I have to go away Gone like a river does All alone like a river does And my landscape has changed, since last I was here Some people stay and some disappear But I'll always remember This part of me And I can't help but wonder How I'll ever leave With two hands, meant to shape the land Just like a river does, just like a river does Another day breaks, and I have to go away Gone like a river does All alone like a river does Woah, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh Two hands, meant to shape the land Just like a river does, just like a river does Another day breaks, and I have to go away Gone like a river does All alone like a river does So I bottle the sound of the wind in the trees Follow the salt in the air, down to the sea Just like a river does Just like a river does
