Bring you a tale from the pastel fields   Where we ran when we were young   This is a tale from the water meadows   Trying to spread some hope into your heart      It?s mixed with happiness, it?s mixed with tears   Both life and death are carried in this stream   That open space you could run for miles   Now you don?t get so many to the pound      True it?s a dream mixed with nostalgia   But it?s a dream that I?ll always hang on to   That I always run to   Won?t you join me by the riverbank      Paradise found down by the still waters   Joined in the race to the rainbow?s end   No fears, no worries just a golden country   Woke at sunrise, went home at sunset      Now life is so critical   Life is too cynical   We lose our innocence   We lose our very soul      True it?s a dream mixed with nostalgia   But it?s a dream that I?ll always hang on to   That I always run to      True it?s a dream mixed with nostalgia   But it?s a dream that I?ll always hang on to   That I always run to   Won?t you join me by the riverbank   Come on and join me by the riverbank
