Intro

Verse 1

Took a friend I found

Cross some blood red river

Never did find my way home

In time to forgive her

Pre-chorus 1

Why must people always want what they can't have

Why must people always grab what they'd never grasp

Chorus

How did we get so far

How did we move so fast away

From the lilac-lillied lake

I'm sure we used to stay

Is it only a dream away

Verse 2

Took a raft I found

Cross some blood red river

Never did find my way home

In time for my dinner

Pre-chorus 2

Why must people always want what they never have

Why is it a crime to miss a part of you that's bled

Chorus

Only a dream away ...

Away ... yeah

Verse 3

Lost a friend I found

Down some blood red river

Never did find my way home

In time to forget her

Pre-chorus 3

Why must people always want what they can't have

Why must people always take but forget to ask

Chorus

only a dream ... only a dream away

away ... yeah
