We went down by the river, we lay down by the sea
We watched time pass together as we aged endlessly

Down by the weeping wellspring,
A mere passerby, I'll test the waters,
Taste the waters, in health & sickness

Under the shadow of your throne
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I still remember long ago,
In love's lonely garden she changed me

The wireless crackled on and played a year-long song
It reminds me of you
Every word, every verse

Under the shadow of your throne
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I still remember long ago,
In love's lonely garden she changed me

In the end all will be forgiven, but let's tread lightly 'til then
