By This River Lyrics by Martin L. Gore

Counterfeit²

2003

Here we are
Stuck by this river
You and i
Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down
Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came
You talk to me
As if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time
From another time
