Lyrics by David North:
Peace in my dreams
Sleep at night
Taken away my past for keeps
She went away
Nothing I say
She will never grow old
Story be told

On golden sands I walk upon
Tracks I leave behind
Reflectionsof the life we live
Never to be kind.

On golden sands I walk upon
Tracks I leave behind
The river is the life we live
Never to be kind.

The River is the Life we Live
