There was an old woman, lived on the seashore
Bow and balance me
There was an old woman, lived on the seashore
Her number of daughters: one, two, three, four
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
There was a young man come there to see them
Bow and balance me
There was a young man come there to see them
and the oldest one was struck on the head
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
He bought the youngest a beaver hat
Bow and balance me
He bought the youngest a beaver hat
and the oldest one got mad at that
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
Oh, sister oh, sister let's walk the seashore
Bow and balance me
Oh, sister oh, sister let's walk the seashore
and see the ships as they're sailing o'er
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
While these two sisters were walking the shore
Bow and balance me
While these two sisters were walking the shore
the oldest pushed the youngest o'er
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
Oh, sister oh, sister please lend me your hand
Bow and balance me
Oh, sister oh, sister please lend me your hand
and you may have Willy and all of his land
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
I never, I never will lend you my hand
Bow and balance me
I never, oh never will lend you my hand
but I'll have Willy and all of his land
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
Well, sometimes she swam and sometimes she swam
Bow and balance me
Well, sometimes she swam and sometimes she swam
untill she came to the old mill dam
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
Oh, father oh, father come draw your dam
Bow and balance to me,
Oh, father oh, father come draw your dam
Here's either a mermaid or a swan,
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
The miller, he got his fishinghook
Bow and balance me
The miller, he got his fishinghook
and fished the maiden out of the brook
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
Oh, miller oh, miller here's five gold rings
Bow and balance me
Oh, miller oh, miller here's five gold rings
if you'll put me safe on shore again
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
The miller received those five gold rings
Bow and balance me
The miller received those five gold rings
and pushed the maiden in again
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me
The miller was hung at his own mill gate
Bow and balance me
The miller was hung at his own mill gate
for drowning my little sister Kate
And I'll be true to my love if my love will be true to me

The River - The Drowning

Grace...
The water knows,
The wind knows,
Every hair on your neck knows,
Every inch of your skin feels...
Grace...
Hope is your promise,
Promise is your dream,
But dreams cloud the water.
Trust the water.
Oh, trust the water.
Look deep, and you'll see.
Trust the water.
Look past the face on the dream-clouded surface
to see your body far below.
Look at me, focus, deeper, deeper.
Look at me, focus, deeper, deeper, deeper.

Beautiful Tomorrow

In the beautiful tomorrow, sweeter than today
There will never be no sorrow
All the tears will pass away
There will never be a sunset or a fading of the day
In the beautiful tomorrow, oh, sweeter than today.
In the beautiful tomorrow, oh, sweeter than today
Where the sadness and the sorrow
can't take my joy away
Tears will always be memories
I'll be happy every day
In the beautiful tomorrow, so much sweeter than today.
In the beautiful tomorrow, oh the beautiful tomorrow
There will be no sorrow, all the tears will pass away.
There will never be a sunset or a fading of the day
In the beautiful tomorrow, oh, sweeter than today.
In the beautiful tomorrow, so much sweeter than today.
In the beautiful tomorrow, tears will pass away.
There'll be no heartache, there'll be no pain
In the beautiful tomorrow, so much sweeter than today.
In the beautiful tomorrow, In the beautiful tomorrow
There will be no sorrow, all my tears will pass away
There will be no dark clouds to block my gaze
In the beautiful tomorrow, so much sweeter than today.

Here is a road
A thousand miles long
She walks down step by step
She isn't at mile one
I don't know how far she has to go,
but she'll never walk backwards.
Here is that day
Filled with a thousand tears
She tastes them one by one
and thinks about the sea.
I don't know how far she has to go,
but she doesn't walk alone.
Here is the room
It holds tempest, holds a storm
The wind picks up inside
But outside all is calm.
I don't know how far she has to go,
but she'll never walk backwards.
Here is the gun
It holds a thousand threats but needs just only one.
It turns around in the drawer
It follows across the floor.
I don't know how far she has to go,
but she doesn't walk alone.
She doesn't walk alone.
