[Verse 1]
On the banks of the river
Where the willows hang down
And the wild birds all warble
With a low moaning sound
Way down in the hollow
Where the waters run cold
It's where I first listened
To the lies that you told
[Verse 2]
And now I lie on my bed
And I see your sweet face
And the past I remember
Time cannot erase
And the letters you wrote me
Were written in shame
And I know that your conscience
Still echoes my name
[Verse 3]
Now the nights are so long
Lord, sorrow runs deep
And nothing is worse
Than a night without sleep
On the banks of the river
Where the willows hang down
And the wild birds all warble
With a low moaning sound
Way down in the hollow
Where the waters run cold
It's where I first listened
To the lies that you told
[Verse 2]
And now I lie on my bed
And I see your sweet face
And the past I remember
Time cannot erase
And the letters you wrote me
Were written in shame
And I know that your conscience
Still echoes my name
[Verse 3]
Now the nights are so long
Lord, sorrow runs deep
And nothing is worse
Than a night without sleep
