Neon River

Well, you were happy where you were But that girl she wheeled you in This time was never good enough 'Cause she was gone and seen everything And if you ever spoke of love She just smiled and put you down 'Cause she was making all the plans She had a vision of light and sound She said the neon on the river will light my way And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day So save your money pack your bags We better run before we disappear She took the train into the city but you're still here You hear a song that takes you back The song long for God tonight And friends who said they hang your back But they just turned them round and let you fight And on the bowling alley wall You used all your smartest minds But they'll be painted over now Looks like here gonna get left behind She said the neon on the river will light my way And all the things that we've been dreaming of making real one day So save your money, pack your bags I wanna run with you on Stamford hill She took the train into the city but you stood still You stood still about the train You knew as you watched her go That she wan never coming back And start to places that you know You said you're scared if I And that didn't want to go Where everyone else goes She said the neon on the river will light my way And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day So save your money, pack your bags We better run before we disappear She took the train into the city but you're still here She took the train into the city but you're still here --- Neon River - Keane
