Meanwhile

Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change
Like a river running down
Down to the seaAnd if you need an explanation
I defy you to explain
But something's not the same
And it's bothering meI think we see where I went wrong
I think I see what's going on
Meanwhile and far away
As the night draws inHe's holding her right now
I can feel it all begin
Meanwhile and far away
When the day is doneI ride away, my friend
Into the setting sun
And the rivers running down
Down to the seaI let love slip right through my fingers
And I watched it drift away
But still I had to say
What was written for meI thought I'd end up as the hero
Thought the glory would be mine
Very soon I was to find
It wasn't to be'Cause in this part I've got to play
It doesn't quite turn out that wayMeanwhile and far away
As the night draws in
He's holding her right now
I can feel it all beginMeanwhile and far away
When the day is done
I ride away my friend
Into the setting sunAnd the river's running down
Down to the sea
