I heard the warnings of all my good friends
I should have done what they said
I had no chance to get all your love
I had to share you instead
I saw the pain but I wanted love
Feelings did rule my whole world
You gave me hope, your smile was my guide
You've been the queen of my world
But I carry on now, on and on I go
But it's not easy to stop the rivers flow
But I carry on now, on and on I go
But it's not easy to stop the rivers flow
I lived in daydreams, spent so much time
In painting nice pictures of us
I only used the colour of hope
For you it was the colour of grass
Dreams are so often defeated and killed
By time and the fear of the new
I was so sure that we would try
Wish I could make dreams come true
But I carry on now, on and on I go
But it's not easy to stop the rivers flow
