just in a simple conversation you can hear the feeling change like a river running down down to the sea and if you need an explanation i defy you to explain but something s not the same and it s bothering me i think i see where i went wrong i think i see what s going on meanwhile and far away as the night draws in he s holding her right now i can feel it all begin meanwhile and far away when the day is done i ride away my friend into the setting sun and the rivers running down down to the sea i let love slip right through my fingers and i watched it drift away but still i had to say what was written for me i thought i d end up as the hero thought the glory would be mine very soon i was to find it wasn t to be cos in this part i ve got to play it doesn t quite turn out that way meanwhile and far away as the night draws in he s holding her right now i can feel it i can feel it all begin meanwhile and far away when the day is done i ride away my friend into the setting sun and the rivers running down down to the sea
