I can see my love there
She lies in the still water
And when the sun comes down
My love won't be around
I took my love up the mountainside last may
We said no words as we walked along the way
She took my hand and pleading looked at me
No words could change my heart it hurt so bitterly
A flask of wine we shared and her glass filled with tears
She spoke of all the good times we had throughout the years
I sat in silent stillness, no drink could warm my heart
The devil loose inside me was tearing me apart
Sobbing drunk she drifted asleep beside of me
So wronged in shallow eyes, I knew how to be free
I gently carried my love to the shore of the mountain lake
And pushed her in the water before she could awake
I held her head so deep and watched the bubbles grow
A muffled crying came up to my ears from below
I sat upon the bank there and drank up all my wine
My lover's time had come so soon it would be mine
