Green River, I've come back to you

Do you remember me

Do you remember Mommy with the soft blue eyes?

I left you with a lot of dreams

None of them came true

What I wanted was here waiting all the time



Green River, did she come back every evening

Like the neighbors said she did so faithfully

Green River, has she gone away forever?

She just disappeared one day

As she gave up on me



Green River, if you see her

Won't you tell her I've returned?

All I brought her is myself and this little ring

Please tell her that I love her

And my lesson I have learned

Green River, tell her please come back to me
