Over the Rise

[Verse 1]

I walk along the levee to see the gypsy man

The dirt 'neath my feet baby's turnin' to quicksand

He looked into my palm, then looked me in the eye

Told me you were gone, gone over the rise

[Verse 2]

Once we stood together at the wishing well

Our wishes like dreams, baby, into the water fell

Oh, then I kissed your lips, but when I looked into your eyes

Baby, they were gone, gone over the rise

[Bridge]

Tonight the blackbirds fly low on the water's edge

Oh, we walked this path not knowing where it led

Now at the bottom of the river deep

Lies something shiny and golden

Is a promise that love couldn't keep

Same as a promise broken?

[Verse 3]

Well, I woke last night to the sound of rain

The wind rustling branches against the window pane

I searched the pillow beside me for the tears we cried

Baby, they were gone, gone over the rise
