Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About the distance between me and you
And I don’t what I can say
About the hardships sailing our way
But I’ll cry you a river
I’ll sing you a song
Both of them simple
I’ll stand in your doorway and dream of a time
When beautiful women are part of the landscape
The heroes will speak in the language of children
From now on
From now on
And I don’t know how to survive
Keeping happy and feeling alive
But I cry you a river
I’ll sing you a song
Each of them lovely
And both of them wrong
I’ll stand in your doorway and dream of a time
When all if forgiven but nothing forgotten
The answers fly in on the wings of the angels
From now on
From now on
And I don’t know hot to tow the line
Fill up your soul and maybe save mine
But I’ll cry you a river
I’ll sing you a song
Each of them easy
Both of them wrong
I’ll stand in your doorway and dream of a time
When heroes will speak in the language of children
And beautiful women are part of the landscape
And all is forgiven but nothing forgotten
From now on
From now on
But I cry you a river
I’ll sing you a song
Each of them lovely
And both of them wrong
I’ll stand in your doorway and dream of a time
And beautiful women are part of the landscape
And all is forgiven but nothing forgotten
When heroes will speak in the language of children
The answers fly in on the wings of the angels
From now on
From now on
From now on
