North and south of the river

I want to reach out over the Loch    And feel your hand across the water Walk with you along an unapproved road    Not looking over my shoulder   I wanna see and I wanna hear     To under- stand 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 While the wind from the Loch just get colder colder    There was a badness that had its way   But love wasn’t lost love will have its day North and south of the river     North and south of the river                     Can we stop playing this old tattoo   Darling I don’t have the answer   I wanna meet you where you are   I don’t need ya to surrender ’Cause there’s no feeling that’s so alone When when the one you’re hurting is your own North and south of the river    North and south of the river   North and south of the river     Some high ground is not worth taking   Some connections are not worth making   This old church bell no longer ringing   Some old songs are not worth bringing North... / Higher ground is not worth taking
