My love for her flowed on and on
With currents strong and wide.
How could I know they'd flow upon
A sandbar on the side.
I did my best to tenderly
Pull her away from all
That kept her far away from me
And then a waterfall
Enticed her to let go and then
She went down on her own.
The water took my tears again
And left me on my own.
