Lyrics
Couldn't stay away
couldn't make you stay
I would have liked it so much more
If we had set a sail
gone down to the vale
wide river valley full of childhood memories
If we had more time
I know we could have found
A stronger current to carry us along
Into brighter days
into softer waves
At the edge of the river sloping down
Couldn't catch your eye
not for lack of trying
to form this river valley took some time
Here we are again
looking into the wind
the blowing leaves and the spray off the sand
So let's try again
if you think we can
we'll set the boom and adjust it to the wind
The shore is not so far
the place from where we started
the place where we will land
