1
I buried him down by the river
2
'cause that's where he liked to be
3
and every night when the moon is high
4
I go there and weep openly
5
He and I were married
6
By this river 'neath this willow tree
7
and with God and friends witnessing it
8
He pledged his life to me
9
To me he was Earth
10
and I rooted in his soil
11
I to he was Sky vast and free
12
of the burdens from which he toiled
13
Then one night a terrible fight
14
Words spoken better left unsaid
15
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
16
He gave his life to me
17
They say to love is to bury
18
Those demons from which we all hide
19
But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree
20
Becoming one of Earth and Sky
