I walk along the levee to see the gypsy man   The dirt 'neath my feet baby's turnin' to quicksand   He looked into my palm, then looked me in the eye   And told me you were gone, gone over the rise      Once we stood together at the wishing well   Our wishes like dreams, baby, into the water fell   Oh then I kissed your lips but when I looked into your eyes   They were gone, gone over the rise      Tonight the blackbirds fly low on the water's edge   Oh we walked this path not knowing where it led   Now at the bottom of the river deep lies something shiny and golden   Is a promise that love couldn't keep same as a promise broken*      Well I woke last night to the sound of rain   The wind rustling branches against the window pane   I searched the pillow beside me for the tears we cried   Baby they were gone, gone over the rise
