North and south of the river (testo - lyrics)

I want to reach out over the Loch And feel your hand across the water Walk with you along an unapproved road Not looking over my shoulder I want to see, and I want to hear To understand your fears But we're north and south of the river I've been doing it wrong all of my life This holy town has turned me over A young man running from what he didn't understand The wind from the Loch just get colder, colder There was a badness that had its way But love wasn't lost, love will have its day North and south of the river North and south of the river Can we stop playing these old tattoos Darling I don't have the answer I want to meet you where you are I don't need you to surrender 'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone As when the one you're hurting is your own North and south of the river North and south of the river North and south of the river Some high ground is not worth taking Some connections are not worth making There's an old church bell no longer ringing Some old songs are not worth bringing North... (Higher ground is not worth taking) North and south of the river
