Why’d you have to go
down the river alone
leaving me
I miss you, love
On the shore I stay
I know no other way
than a ring weighing more than I can hold
solid gold
Take me with you into waters deep for pardon
Where I find your breath is where you'll find my heart
My finest dress is on
You didn't see it before you'd gone
Oh, but I still wait
Even if you're late
Here, the sun is set
My mouth is dry and my feet are wet
How close can I get to where you are
It's just a little too far
Take me with you into waters deep for pardon
Where I find your breath is where you'll find my heart
They tell me you have gone away
and I have learned to live with that
But I can't bear to hear them say
that you're not coming back
