    Story Behind the Song
    classic song probably set somewhere in a township in africa ( but could be anywhere really )... about poor boy meets rich girl... they always meet on the banks of a river close by for a spot of 'fishing'... girl's father ( divorced and wins custody of daughter ) finds out and does not approve of boy... can't stand the guy... so takes her away ( hotel management school in the swiss alps perhaps? )... girl gets depressed... overdoses on unknown substance and is certified DOA... meanwhile boy finds out... eventually after many nights of feeling guilty, he takes his own life...

    ... back on the banks of the river, two new seeds are growing... eventually they will become trees... the tallest for miles... majestic and standing tall... they will provide shade to whoever needs it... and thier branches will always be touching each other never letting go... finally they are together...


    Lyrics
    walking in the pouring rain
    in these empty streets again
    daddy took her far away
    and you miss her so bad
    wasnt your fault
    they thought they knew it all
    shes crying now
    somehow you got to find a way
    and the river is calling you
    and the river will see you through
    and the river will shelter you
    daughter of a wealthy man
    taken by her fathers hand
    he said you were a big mistake
    you know theyre all wrong
    bleeding and still
    its you against the world
    nowhere to run
    somehow you know youre going to end up
    in the river...
    news came today
    they said she took her life
    whos crying now
    you know youll be together by the river...
