Lyrics

I buried him down by the river 'Cause that's where he liked to be And every night when the moon is high I go there and weep openly He and I were married By this river 'neath this willow tree And with God and friends witnessing it He pledged his life to me To me, he was Earth And I rooted in his soil I to he was Sky vast and free Of the burdens from which he toiled Then one night, a terrible fight Words spoken better left unsaid With his wedding vows ringing in my ears He gave his life to me They say to love is to bury Those demons from which we all hide But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree Becoming one of Earth and Sky
