Billy Strings - Love And Regret lyrics

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
