You've broken free to the higher ground, The mystery of the moment you found. You squander gold like a workman's wage, And sold your soul to your gilded cage.
Chorus: Now the role isn't right and the lesson that you learned is a warning. You're a city girl at night, but you Run Across the River in the morning.
You sing your song for your sanity But you live too long in your vanity. The past protection your main concern When love's direction uncharted turns. (chorus)
You've got the choices to fly or feel; The heart rejoices when love is real. You sing the blues but you make no sound The love you lose will again be found. (chorus)
