They sat near one another at the water's edge
|
I'll say "they" because "we" is too hard to say
|
And he told her what he'd come so far to tell her
|
with tears in her eves she said it can't be that way
|
I left the ring down at the riverside
|
|
He stared at the water for a long time, leaning on his hand
|
He was going through the things that he was wondering
|
The air was fairly still, like the calm before the storm
|
No one would have guessed the rain. there was not distant thundering
|
He still felt a long ways away inside
|
I left the ring down at the riverside
|
|
Should I tell them how he cried?
|
Should I tell them how you held me, my never-bride?
|
And how I left the ring down at the riverside
|
|
The riverside-
|
One like where believers stood for John to baptize them
|
I'm going down to die, but I'll be coming up alive then
|
I'm going down to die, but He'll bring me up alive then
|
