Meanwhile

Meanwhile - The Moody Blues

Just in a simple conversation

You can hear the feeling change

Like a river running down

Down to the sea

And if you need an explanation

I defy you to explain

But something's not the same

And it's bothering me

I think I see where I went wrong

I think I see what's going on

Meanwhile and far away

As the night draws in

He's holding her right now

I can feel it all begin

Meanwhile and far away

When the day is done

I ride away my friend

Into the setting sun

And the river's running down

Down to the sea

I let love slip right through my fingers

And I watched it drift away

But still I had to say

What was written for me

I 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

'Cos in this part I've got to play

It doesn't quite turn out that way

Meanwhile and far away

As the night draws in

He's holding her right now

I can feel it (I can feel it) all begin

Meanwhile and far away

When the day is done

I ride away my friend

Into the setting sun

And the river's running down

Down to the sea
