Then one night a terrible fight
To me he was earth
He pledged his life to me
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
I go there and weep openly
And with God and friends witnessing it
Those demons from which we all hide
And every night when the moon is high
By this river ’neath this willow tree
Words spoken better left unsaid
He and I were married
And I rooted in his soil
They say to love is to bury
Of the burdens from which he toiled
He gave his life to me
But tonight by this river ’neath this willow tree
I to he was sky vast and free
