Ribbon

Ribbon of the river by my side
 I walk the shores and watch it unwind
 The railway tracks will leave a glimpse of the light
 From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind
 And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
 And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
 ♪
 Secrets of the city
 Make an aching in my heart
 And the mysteries that tease me so
 I long to belong, but I always have to go
 People stare and wonder why I stray
 They don't understand that wandering's my way
 I'll never stop, though time is slipping away
 The elusive light, shining strange on my face
 And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone
 And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone

 Secrets of the city
 Make an aching in my heart
 And the mysteries that tease me so
 I long to belong, but I always have to go
 Home ties me up with discontent
 Since the day I first went
 
 Yearning to be back again
 How will I return and when?
