Moving on backwards
Taking hold of time
Descending is a virtue
When you've climbed so high
If you were the fallen
And I was your knight
Would I take this moment
Or hold it inside
Rolling along the river
Taking in the sights
Rolling on in silence
Hiding behind the racket
Please mind the gap between the race and the reality
Won't you come to the surface for a while
Please mind the gap between your ego and your self esteem
Won't you come to the surface for a while
And do you count on this belief
Or will you hang on to a broken dream
When all the time you can be relieved
Just drifting along, just
Rolling along the river
Rolling along the river
Taking in the sights
Rolling on in silence
Hiding behind the crowds so
Please mind the gap between the race and the reality
Won't you come to the surface for a while
Please mind the gap between your ego and your self esteem
Won't you come to the surface for a while
So you saw the sun and you realised
That the weather's bringing hope for you
So you take life on and what you need
Is not too far, too far for
So you saw the sun and you realised
That the weather's bringing hope for you
So you take life on
And you take it
So you saw the sun through smoke and fire
The river's high, London's calling
So you take life on
And you take it running
So you saw the sun and you realised
That the weather's bringing hope for you
So you take life on and what you need
Is not too far, too far from you
