When I’m lonely and tired,
So tired, all alone,
There’s a place where I’ll always be warm.
We sang “Run River Run”
And we laughed ‘til we cried,
And the stars disappeared with the dawn
On a bridge in the pines
Of a clear running stream,
The River of Golden Dreams.
When white isn’t white
And black isn’t black,
And grey is all I can see;
When the wrong seems so right
And the rights are all wrong,
I pray that my heart won’t deceive.
When confusion sets in,
It’s so hard to know,
Do you go with your heart or your head?
But if the river dried,
I would dry up inside.
It’s a love that’s carried me through.
When I’m lonely and tired,
So tired, all alone,
There’s a place where I’ll always be warm.
But as I stand on the bridge
Singing loud, singing strong,
The harmony is all gone.
The magic just dies,
When you stand all alone
By the River of Golden Dreams.
