There's a tree at the crossroads
There's a nail in my shoe
Repeat to me softly
As you vow, that we'll see it through

Let's go to the other side and take in the view
Our Eyes will see better there
Watching the river flow
You may say, "I don't know" but I do

Every night will be starless
Every day will be fine
Each hour will be peaceful as the reeds make the river slow
The earth will be broken and we'll lie there below
I am yours, you are mine
To long for longer is a crime
You may say, "I don't lie"
But I do
But I do
