Songtexte: Tom Cochrane. Tom Cochrane & Red Rider. River Of Stone.

We turned and stared out
On the fields where we once layed
And looked back on them for one last time
Before the storm would break

You cannot stand in the line of fire
I still can hear you say
We won't be going home tonight
Where only the past remains

No, no, you cannot drink
Oh, from the river of stone
No, you cannot live
In the shelter of a burned out home

I can almost touch
The times that we once knew
Then the wild and shattered nights
When only the darkness grew

We lost our dreams in a bitter wind
And watched as the fields were burned
We'll hold our heads up high again
When our dreams have been returned

Oh, no, you cannot drink
Oh, from the river of stone
No, you cannot live

Oh when you're losing your love
And they're taking everything you have
But they cannot rip the soul from your back
[Incomprehensible]

Oh, no, you cannot drink
Oh, from the river of stone
No, you cannot live
Oh when you're losing your love

Oh, no, you cannot drink
Oh, from the river of stone
No, you cannot live
Oh when you're losing your love

No, no, you cannot drink
Oh, from the river of stone
No, you cannot live
Oh when you're losing your love
