I saw a woman down by the sea
She took her clothes off and danced with me
Then she jumped without a word she didn't take a breath
I saw a woman drowing and running towards her death

I jumped out to save her but she had gone
So I sat down by the water starting to sing my song:
My lady river song
Oh, I wonder where you´d gone

I washed my hands in her faded soul
I bathed my lonely heart in this empty hole
I took a prayer by the totem-pole
Trying to retain some self-control

I jumped out to save her but she had gone
So I sat down by the water starting to sing my song:
My lady river song
Oh, I wonder where you´d gone

My lady river song
Oh, I wonder where you'd gone
