Watching the great river as it flows up to the bend
On a hazy afternoon let's take it slow
The sun is beating down on the bustle of the town
Tell me, river, what you know
A dusty wind is blowing in
From the desert to the north
Carrying whispers on the breeze
Whispers of peace
And whispers of war
The days slip by like water that flows under the bridge
And we live each moment once and let it go
And you have to sieze each chance in the magic of the dance
When the music's going to stop, you never know
A dull explosion rocks the night
There's panic in the street outside
Blind confusion, sudden flight
Heartbeat racing,
Looking for a place to hide
A dusty wind is blowing in
From the desert to the north
Carrying whispers on the breeze
Whispers of peace
And whispers of war
