Sad Waters

[03:36.24] Down the road I look and there runs Mary

[03:36.49] Hair of gold and lips like cherries

[03:36.74] We go down to the river where the willows weep

[03:36.74] Take a naked root for a lovers seat

[03:36.99] That rose out of the bitten soil

[03:36.99] But sound to the ground by creeping ivy coils

[03:37.26] O Mary you have seduced my soul

[03:37.49] And I don't know right from wrong

[03:38.24] Forever a hostage of your child's world

[03:38.49] And then I ran my tin-cup heart along

[03:38.49] The prison of her ribs

[03:38.74] And with a toss of her curls

[03:38.99] That little girl goes wading in

[03:38.99] Rollin her dress up past her knee

[03:39.25] Turning these waters into wine

[03:39.49] Then she platted all the willow vines

[03:39.49] Mary in the shallows laughing

[03:39.74] Over where the carp dart

[03:39.74] Spooked by the new shadows that she cast

[03:40.75] Across these sad waters and across my heart
