Tom Cochrane - River of Stone lyrics

We turned and stared out On the fields where we once layed Looked back on them for one last time Before the storm would break You cannot stand in the line of fire I still can hear you say We won't be going home tonight Where only the past remains No, you cannot drink From the river of stone No you cannot live In the shelter of a burned out home I can almost touch The times that we once knew Then the wild and shattered nights When only the darkness grew We lost our dreams in a bitter wind Watched as the fields were burned We'll hold our heads up high again When our dreams have been returned No you cannot drink From a river of stone No you cannot live When you're losing your love No you cannot drink From a river of stone No you cannot live When you're losing your love (repeat)
