Down by the river, the water is cold
Used to have a girl but that's alright
She came to me in a dream
And slipped away like a runnin' stream
The hours of silence, the light of the moon
Brings to me a sense of ease
There's nothing else that I could do
For that woman just won't be pleased
I see her runnin', I'm not the same
I chased after pleasure to bury my pain
It's resurrected when I say her name
But love and regret are one in the same
Scream of a Raven, the screech of an owl
The heartbroken lonesome Coyote howl
Those old Hartford records we used to play
In the silence when she went away
I see her runnin', I'm not the same
I chased after pleasure to bury my pain
It's resurrected when I say her name
But love and regret are one in the same
