lyrics

Rivers don't weep
Bridges don't cry
Friendless sleep
And then we die

Apathy and

What I do unto thee
You'll do unto me

Rivers don't care
Bridges don't care
About our sadness
And despair

A certain eye
A certain smile
We might be happy
For a while

There is sadness everywhere
There is sadness over there
There is sadness over here
So much sorrow, grief, and fear

This darkness is no friend of mine
If i could tell the moon to shine
If i could will the clouds away
We might be happy for a day
