[00:00.00] I want to reach out over the lough
[00:25.26]And feel your hand across the water
[00:29.67]Walk with you along an unapproved road
[00:34.68]Not looking over my shoulder
[00:39.42]I want to see
[00:41.76]I want to hear
[00:45.27]To understand your fears
[00:48.03]But we're north and south of the river
[00:57.63]I've been doing it wrong
[01:00.87]all of my life
[01:03.21]This holy town has turned me over
[01:06.18]A young man running from what he didn't understand
[01:12.06]As the wind from the lough just blew colder and colder
[01:18.60]There was a badness that had its way
[01:23.25]But love was not lost
[01:25.17]it just got mislaid
[01:35.67]North and south of the river
[01:56.52]Can we stop playing these old tattoos?
[02:01.26]Darling I don't have the answer
[02:05.97]I want to meet you where you are
[02:10.86]I don't need you to surrender
[02:15.39]There is no feeling so alone
[02:19.08]as when the one you're hurting is your own
[02:24.39]North and south of the river
[02:33.87]Some high ground is not worth taking
[02:38.58]Some connections are not worth making
[02:42.87]There's an old church bell no longer ringing
[02:47.91]And some old songs not worth singing
[02:52.71]North and south of the river
[03:00.54]North and south of the river

I want to reach out over the lough
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder
I want to see
I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river
I've been doing it wrong
all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
As the wind from the lough just blew colder and colder
There was a badness that had its way
But love was not lost
it just got mislaid
North and south of the river
Can we stop playing these old tattoos?
Darling I don't have the answer
I want to meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrender
There is no feeling so alone
as when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
There's an old church bell no longer ringing
And some old songs not worth singing
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
