[Verse 1]
To my dearest forsaken. who the earth now has taken
Empty, the bottle drains no more
It is true that I loved you, despite the harm now on you
Wash us, the river has you, boy

[Verse 2]
Here on the eve of too long, where you'll think I've done wrong
Wakin' in fear of you no more
I put my trust in the savior, fumin' forces of nature
Strength of the stump I tied you, boy

[Verse 3]
To my dearest forsaken, dearest vow I have broken
Afraid of your angry hands no more
Put my trust in the savior, river may have me later
Sleep with my lost love for you, boy
