lyrics

I am but a simple man
Never gave a thought to life and death
I never lost sleep at night
Wondering what lies beyond the sky

I once had a lifelong friend
With hair red as the sunset
Her laughter made my burden lighter
In the evening by the firelight

One day I came up from the pit
Weary from my labors
My mother rushed up to me
She cried, "Oh God, your lass is dead."

They said she went down to the sea
To swim in the deep waters
When the strong waves dragged her quickly down
And stole her life away

Now my life's become tiresome to me
And people say I've changed
Some say that true lovers parted
Will be whole again beyond the grave

On this night I hear a cry
An echo in my mind
On still nights the hills are silent
And I think I hear her calling my name

She calls to me endlessly
Come down to me
Into the deep black waters
And drift away forever

Never to be parted again
