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)
