Took a friend I found
Cross 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 did we move so fast away
From the lilac-lillied lake
I'm sure we used to stay
Is it only a dream away
Took a raft I found
Cross 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
Only a dream away ...
Away ... yeah
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
only a dream ... only a dream away
away ... yeah
