This land is real, real as the next man
   This land is there for all to see
   You're standing there so cold and calm
   You stand so close to me
  
   And you out there can keep away
   There's nothing owed to you
   All I want's to lose myself and stay so close to you
  
   The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names
   Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same
   If you out there don't get what I say, there's nothing owed to you
   To feel that way is born inside no matter what you do
  
   I wonder how my fortune fell
   When everything began to melt
   The case I had for wasting that
   That never came
   I want to walk away again
   Away again
   Away again
   There to wonder how those things will never be
   Searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key
   If you don't care just keep away, how can I give hope to you
   Nearer now are both our futures, me, our hearts and you
  
   And yet all I want is to lose myself and stay s oclose to you
   All I want is to stay so close to you
