I saw a woman down by the sea She took her clothes off and danced with me Then she jumped without a word she didn´t take a breath I saw a woman drowing and running towards her death
I jumped out to save her but she had gone So I sat down by the water starting to sing my song: My lady river song Oh, I wonder where you´d gone
I washed my hands in her faded soul I bathed my lonely heart in this empty hole I took a prayer by the totem-pole Trying to retain some self-control
I jumped out to save her but she had gone So I sat down by the water starting to sing my song: My lady river song Oh, I wonder where you´d gone
