I found a river in the fall We left it in the fog Because everybody knows Where the willow teardrops brush the ground No man can stand there tall You wave to me from the door On dry and dusty floor And i sold my mother's watch To a man with two feet on the road For a time i had no more If my heart's a shadow in the sky I'll let it catch the fire And i'll never love again With a girl who has hands are sad as stone Because now i don't want to die When you close your eyes against the sun And the final bells are rung Don't look back over your shoulder For the moon will sing a song as sweet As the place from where you've come
