I’ve left a line of lovers, a river that’s filled with my tears
passed my wicked aftermath to undeserving heirs
I’ve left a line as long as time, my trail it is still warm
I’m taking this pail I fill it with my tears
A river is soon to be born

I’m trying to find some piece of mind, in time I bend to my fears
so many lovers, just one life, a river that’s filled with my tears
Waterways that jump the banks and waves that cut the calm
these memories come over me
the water rolls along

Many more will come into and leave this love I own
I waste the taste to satisfy this searching for a home
Now I see how love can be and washed upon this shore
are rivulets that demonstrate
how I’ll have love no more

I’ve left a line of lovers, my trail it is still warm
this pail is full, the river is long
my heart must weather the storm
