I left home for southern California
A perfect day a perfect alibi
But in my heart of hearts
I knew it meant nothing
Without you beside me
You're my arrow home

Some nights I'd lay awake
Saw your tears going crazy
Wild horses running like the wind
There were baby's with your eyes
You held them in the arms of mercy
They were miracles to me

But the river runs so fast
You're never in the same place twice
Are you still here inside my bed
Or was it all just in my head

I used to try
My best to make love stronger
To love you more then I loved myself
But that was just my way
To hide all the wreckage
Ever time I drove my heart
Right over the edge

But the river runs so fast
You're never in the same place twice
Are you still here inside my bed
Or was it all just in my head

Crashed out in Deloraine
NY city's blue with rain
You got my heart
Shining like cellophane

Still those years they went like lightning
Some were thieves and some were dancing
Wrapped in over coats of heart ache

But the river runs so fast
You're never in the same place twice
Are you still here inside my bed
Or was it all just in my head
