A summer's day so long ago

A thousand boats dancin' on the bay

I came to you in silent 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 found 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 (away).



I can't outrun my destiny

Tell me who will sing a song for me

Darkness, darkness cover me

By my own hand is 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

(The waterside)

If I follow, maybe I will find her

(So deep and wide)

Maybe I will find her

(The waterside, so deep and wide)

(The waterside, so deep and wide)

(The waterside, so deep and wide)

(The waterside, so deep and wide).
