[Verse 1]
E C A D E
I walked with the river in kind of a dream
C A D E
Hand in hand, the all-knowing river and me
C A D E
To the clammer of rushes and deeply barren trees
A D E
A drunk making blossom, the blush to be seen
[Interlude]
D Em Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

[Verse 2]
E A D E
I told him my sorrows and broken-down dreams
E A D E
Confessed every lie, replayed every scene
A D E
He openly wept as he listened to me
C A D E
And then, with the sun in the west, he showed me the sea
[Outro]
