You know the sky is blue And the wind cuts right through The sun shines on you alone Every step takes you nearer, nearer home And I love the river That carries us on In one direction Bringing me nearer, nearer home But you haven't made it yet No you still haven't made it yet The sky turns gray And the river runs high Running faster Passes you by Ghosts of life Are following you With a bit of luck You can make it through I thought I heard you sigh When you thought that you were there But the world turns for you alone Every step takes you nearer, nearer home But you haven't made it yet No you still haven't made it yet The sky turns gray And the river runs high Running faster Passes you by Ghosts of life Are following you With a bit of luck We can make it, make it through But you haven't made it yet No you still haven't made it yet
