Night lights up the ghosts in my heart.
I watch them burn as I stare in the dark.
Wrestling emotions I'm drawn to the flame,
Caught by the shadows that call out your name.

Searching for some kind of escape,
I find my way right here to this place
Where the night has no end.

All of my life my dreams run wild
Now I stand alone in this river of fire.
Through days of despair, nights of desire
I wait for you in this river of fire.

I still remember that look in your eye.
I wish I knew then that it was goodbye.
I try to fight it but I know I can't win.
Sometimes your dreams just get lost in the wind.

But something beyond all time and space
Leads me right back here to this place,
To the edge of the world.

All of my life my dreams run wild
Now I stand alone in this river of fire.
Through days of despair, nights of desire
I wait for you in this river of fire.

Someday I'll get past this madness
Over the loss and the sadness,
But I never let go.

All of my life my dreams run wild
Now I stand alone in this river of fire.
Through days of despair, nights of desire
I wait for you in this river of fire.

All of my life my dreams run wild
Now I stand alone in this river of fire.
Through days of despair, nights of desire
I wait for you in this river of fire.

Interpretation

I know that you're gone and probably never coming back, but I keep waiting for you. It's difficult, but I can't help myself.
