Until a River Came By

Another December went by in a moment Crossed off the list of broken promises Passing us by before the last words were spoken Now we are going our separate ways These eyes could have seen right through it But there's no escape from the anguishing times We didn't see the rain until a river came by Clouds full of haze hanging over the distance Blinding the narrow road of happiness Moments of storm into moments of silence God only knows the years ahead There once was a place to go to But now it's still dark at the rim of the night We didn't see the rain until a river came by Who would've thought we'd end up right here On a picture of loneliness Sharing these passing times of laughter and tears In a room full of emptiness Another December went by in a moment Gone with the buried trove of memories Times they have taken these different directions Drawing the thoughts of a distant spring We're watching the clouds of sorrow But there's no escape from the weight in the sky We didn't see the rain until a river came by
