A summer's day so long ago

A thousand boats dancing on the bay

I came to you inside a dream

We both held hands and fell into the water

You never claimed to know me well

The dark-eyed son, the privileged man

You fond me bitter, you thought me cold

Well now I'm gonna make you understand

My mother died, my father cried

He left me lonely by the waterside

Waterside so deep and wide

If I follow, maybe I will find her



Beyond the salt and spray

The current carried her away



Beyond the salt and spray

The current carried her away



I can't outrun my destiny

Tell me who will sing a song for me

Darkness darkness cover me

By my own hands the way it has to be

My mother died my father cried

You will find me by the waterside

Waterside so deep and wide

If I follow, maybe I will find her

If I follow, maybe I will find her
