Meanwhile

Just in a simple conversation

You can hear the feeling change

And there's a river rolling 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 far away when the day is done

I'd 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

Thought I'd end up as a hero

Thought that glory would be mine

But soon I was defined

It wasn't to be

Cause in this part I've got to play

It doesn't quite turn out that way

Meanwhile far away

As the night draws in

He's holding her right now

I can feel it

I can feel it all begin

Meanwhile 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

Meanwhile
