How come we can't talk to each other anymore?Why can't you see I'm changing too?We've got by far too long to end it feeling wrongAnd I still share too much with youJust one great river always flowing to the seaOne single river, oh, in eternityTwo nations in peaceFrom the land that lies along its shoreBut just one river rolling freeHow come you shut me out as if I wasn't there?What's this new bitterness you've found?How come we can't talk to each other anymore?However wronged you were, however strong it hurtIt wasn't me that held you downJust one great river always flowing to the seaOne single riverOh, in eternityTwo nations in the landThat lies along its shoreBut just one river rolling freepassWhy can't you understand?Why can't you understand?Why can't you understand?I'm glad you're standing proudI know you've made it on your ownBut in this pride you've earnedI thought you might have learnedThat you don't have to stand aloneLonely northern rivers come together till you seeOne single river, oh, in eternityTwo nations in the land that lies along each shoreTwo nations in the land that lies along each shoreBut just one river, you and me
