With the last rose of Summer
There's a blush on the water
And the sky is reflected
So the clouds float down the stream
Well, I waited for an hour
In the woods by the river
The bells from the chapel
Cut the day a dozen times
Loves like you don't pass on by lightly
They take the man
In the shadow of a willow
To the laughter of a raven
You said you'd be my lover
And my heart, it overflowed
But now the year is older
You are tender with another
And the shimmer of the water
Is too beautiful to bear
Loves like you don't pass on by lightly
They take the man
There's a blush on the water
And the sky is reflected
So the clouds float down the stream
Well, I waited for an hour
In the woods by the river
The bells from the chapel
Cut the day a dozen times
Loves like you don't pass on by lightly
They take the man
In the shadow of a willow
To the laughter of a raven
You said you'd be my lover
And my heart, it overflowed
But now the year is older
You are tender with another
And the shimmer of the water
Is too beautiful to bear
Loves like you don't pass on by lightly
They take the man
