[Verse 1]
I'm a far away traveller
I travel alone
Searching in the mist
For what I know exists for me
Out there

[Verse 2]
Solitary awaits me out there
I know she will
She was there before the rain
Before these dunes, before they made
The pyramids

[Chorus]
Oh, it's been so long
Have I finally found the road to lead home?

[Verse 3]
The moon was low, and the road dusty
When I was captured by some thieves, my pockets empty
And I said: "You'll have to kill me
To cut this jewel out of me
So let me go"

[Verse 4]
Stopped at the next bar for a neat drink
Across from where I sat a man gazed at me
He looked just like James Dean
On the silver screen, our eyes did meet
And he winked at me
[Chorus]
Is this the one?
Have I finally found the man to lead home?
"Will you help me and my horses on our way
Through night and day?"

[Bridge]
Oh, I can see my destination on the line
And if the stars are aligned
Not gonna be a next time
I'll check him as he's sleeping
Can never trust a man who's drinking whiskey at the bar alone
His arm's around your waist
And your hair is blowing in the wind and it felt alright

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And on that second night he came for me
He took a knife out of his boot and silently I learned the truth
He was a liar
A leech and a beggar
And through the embers
I watched him kill my horses

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
River, river take me
Down to the waterfall
Won't come back at all
Just let me fall
Ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah
