Love In The Future

I cannot bathe you in a river gone black I cannot hold you in a poison rain If I can't see you through the air that we breathe What will love in the future be? I wanna watch my children laugh as they run I wanna hold their children on my knee And tell them stories of a vanishing sun Of how it used to be In my lover's life I want to share I want to see the world now through her eyes And about everything she sees, I care The time has come to rise I cannot bathe you in a river gone black I cannot hold you in a poison rain If I can't see you through the air that we breathe What will love in the future be?

In my lover's life I want to share I want to see the world now through her eyes And about everything she sees, I care The time has come to rise
