I walk along the levee to see the gypsy man
Em G
The dirt 'neath my feet baby's turnin' to quicksand
Em G
He looked into my palm, then looked me in the eye
Em C G
And told me you were gone, gone over the rise
Em G
Once we stood together at the wishing well
Em G
Our wishes like dreams, baby, into the water fell
Em G
Oh then I kissed your lips but when I looked into your eyes
Em C G
Baby they were gone, gone over the rise
Em G
Tonight the blackbirds fly low on the water's edge
Em G
Oh we walked this path not knowing where it led
Em G
Now at the bottom of the river deep lies something shiny and gold
Em C G
Is a promise that love couldn't keep same as a promise broken?
Em G
Well I woke last night to the sound of rain
Em G
The wind rustling branches against the window pane
Em G
I searched the pillow beside me for the tears we cried
Em C G
Baby they were gone, gone over the rise...
