Now the clouds are leaving
And the promise of rain
That never falls
The riverbed run dry
The clouds are leaving
Over the eastern horizon
But what remains
Only a feeling

You can't be the one I love
Even though I love you
It just can't be this way
Its nothing anymore

And I had to watch
From behind a screen
So dark I could see the north star
At high noon
I saw it leaving
No star to guide me home
Just a lost wanderer
Afraid and all alone

And I'll never make it
The way I want to be
It can't be this way
So I won't
