A summer's day so long ago
A thousand boats dancin' on the bay
I came to you in silent dream
We both held hands and fell into the water.
You never claimed to know me well
The dark-eyed son, the privileged man
You found me bitter, you thought me cold
Well, now I'm gonna make you understand.
My mother died, my father cried
He left me lonely by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide
If I follow maybe I will find her.
Beyond the salt and spray
The current carried her away.
Beyond the salt and spray
The current carried her away (away).
I can't outrun my destiny
Tell me who will sing a song for me
Darkness, darkness cover me
By my own hand is the way it has to be.
My mother died, my father cried
You will find me by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide
If I follow, maybe I will find her
(The waterside)
If I follow, maybe I will find her
(So deep and wide)
Maybe I will find her
(The waterside, so deep and wide)
(The waterside, so deep and wide)
(The waterside, so deep and wide)
(The waterside, so deep and wide).
