North And South Of The River lyrics

I want to reach out over the lough
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder
I want to see
I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we`re north and south of the river

I`ve been doing it wrong
all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn`t understand
As the wind from the lough just blew colder and colder

There was a badness that had its way
But love was not lost
it just got mislaid
North and south of the river

Can we stop playing these old tattoos?
Darling I don`t have the answer
I want to meet you where you are
I don`t need you to surrender
There is no feeling so alone
as when the one you`re hurting is your own
North and south of the river

Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
There`s an old church bell no longer ringing
And some old songs not worth singing

North and south of the river
North and south of the river
