Black River Moan

from Crying For The Moon by The Sandman's Orchestra

/

lyrics

I took you by the hand and led you through the woods
- I knew your time had come

your skin was pale in the glow of the moon
- the night dragged you along

we got to the black river and I watched you drown
- you sank without a sound

I thought our story was over and done with
- but oh I was wrong

am I cursed for being evil
and letting you go
now the sad song of the river
will never ever leave me alone

I see ripples and hear wails in my sleep
- the spell you cast is so strong

I'm possessed by a place beyond the hills
- and the nights seem so long

in my waking hours there's a voice in my head
- and it sings of our downfall

this lonely stream brought back from the dead
- black river, black river moan

am I cursed for being evil
and letting you go
now the sad song of the river
will never ever leave me alone

you will never ever leave me alone
black river moan

song of the water chills me to the bone

black river moan
