Standing on the cliffs today

Standing on the cliffs today
I thought I saw you below
Walking by the river
My shadow growing smaller.

It's a desert behind
Because it's a desert
They'll be asking us about it
Forever , I guess.

We come to the River
We'll walk away from all this now
We come to the water
We'll walk away from all this now.

Long coats on the prairie
Lying in the dust
Who can I turn to?
Who can I trust?

Well, you're walkin on the water
Playing in the sun

But the world is turning faster, yeah
Than it did when I was young
When I was young.

When I was young
I was a wild, wild one...
