Blood Red River lyrics

Took a friend I found
Across some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forgive her

Why must people always want what they can`t have?
Why must people always grab what they`d never grasp?

How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake
I`m sure we used to play
Is it only a dream away?

Took a raft I found
Across some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time for my dinner

Why must people always want what they never have?
Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that`s bled?

How did we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac-lilied lake
I`m sure we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away

Lost a friend
I found down some blood red river
Never did find my way home
In time to forget her

Why must people always want what they can`t have?
Why must people always take, but forget to ask?

How do we get so far?
How do we move so fast away
From the lilac lilied lake
Where I`m sure where we used to play
Is it only a dream away?
Only a dream away
