Don’t blame my love for being aloof
Why’s this my fault to prove
No need for blame between us two
After all we loved so true
Can’t speak it out
Love’s too deep to trace
Close at hand yet worlds apart;
In the crowd left or right to start
Let longing tear my heart apart
But mountains long rivers wide
Who’ll stay by me quiet and wide
Who knows how much I’ve given inside
I can only bear the pain and say
“Loving you before was just a lie ”
Wait for maple leaves to fall
Pretend you never came at all
Can’t speak it out
Love’s too tricky to chase
Close at hand yet worlds apart;
In the crowd left or right to start
Let longing tear my heart apart
But mountains long rivers wide
Who’ll stay by me quiet and wide
Who knows how much I’ve given inside
I can only bear the pain and say
“It was my foolish rush back in the day ”
Wait for the wound to heal
Pretend you never came—
Pretend you never came
But love’s road is rough and steep
Who can cling forever no retreat
Yet I still hope you’re happy complete
I can only pretend to be tired you see
Let tears stream like a river free
How to keep the promises we swore indeed
Pretend you never came after all
Mountains long rivers wide our vows fall
Let the wind carry this last goodbye
How to keep the promises we tried
