A House By The River

You traded all your lovers for a house by the river
And all those sweet deceptions and one more broken vow
And the dark-eyed poets who promised you forever, tell me
Where are they now
Where are they now

You were always running, just one more step ahead
And just like all the others, I was following somehow
Was it something I wasn't saying, something I should have said, tell me
Where am I now
Where am I now

Now sweet solitude surrounds you like a blanket of wild heather
You are one with the land and the sky somehow
And the seasons sway in sympathy as you dance in time together, tell me
Where are you now
Where are you now

And I will write a song for you and try to fill this space
And I'll take the time in passing to wonder from afar
Maybe I'll try to find you though you never left a trace
And maybe then I will know who you are
Maybe then I will know who you are
