There she stands in the rain - In the neon light Cast away on the oceans - Of the night Left out in the cold Of the grey morning light Another day of heartache Right before her eyes And she cries Soaked up by the crowd - Just a face in time I'm turning back like a stranger - To this life of mine But still her eyes - They are haunting my mind Is this the life i wanted - A don't care paradise And the rivers of love - so close Such a little step away - Are we really just too blind to see Do we run through this life - blindfold Turning circles in the dark - never free - Free Just a face in the crowd - That you've seen before Reaching out through the darkness - We don't see no more But the loneliness around us - That we've learned to ignore It's waiting in the backyard - Knocking at our door And the rivers of love - so close Such a little step away - Are we really just too blind to see Do we run through this life - blindfold As we're searching for the light - To be free And the rivers of love - so close Such a little step away - Are we really just too blind to see Do we run through this life - blindfold As we're searching for the light - To be free Rivers of love - flow through my heart Open up these eyes - Show me how we're meant to be Rivers of love - tear these chains apart Set my soul on fire - set me free
