Meanwhile

Just in a simple conversation You can hear the feeling change Like a river running down Down to the sea And if you need an explanation I defy you to explain But something's not the same And it's bothering me I think I see where I went wrong I think I see what's goin' on Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away, my friend Into the setting sun And the river's running down Down to the sea I let love slip right through my fingers And I watched it drift away But still I had to say What was written for me I thought I'd end up as the hero Thought the glory would be mine Very soon I was to find It wasn't to be 'Cause in this part I've got to play It doesn't quite turn out that way Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it, I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away, my friend Into the setting sun And the river's running down Down to the sea
