Slow Black River

Lost my watch, watch and chain

But time's not lost

This time we walk together beside the slow black river

Water-walking over mud

You whisper something

Something good in my ear

So I stop so I can hear:

"Darling, I'm the one to blame

I threw your watch and chain

To where I don't know

Inside the tall grass meadow

You'll forget, forget in time

Remember this:

Your hand in mine forever

Beside the slow black river"

Lost my watch, watch and chain, to her today

But time it has no meaning

When her and me are walking

Darling, I'm the one to blame

I love you still

And timeless now forever

Together by the river
