I threw my wedding ring into the river today
down
down
down
into the Allegheny it sank
To the bottom where there is
no light.
we met on a river
got engaged by a river
lived by a river
moved and made a home by another river
this river.
In a river we were born and
in a river today we died.
He tried to pull me
down
down
down
to a place where there is
no light.
But I broke free and swam
up
up
up
to the light.
you tried to starve the light in me
you’re still in darkness, I am free
I am not yours, you are not mine
these waters broke the tie that binds
I am not yours, you are not mine
these waters broke the tie that binds
I am not yours, you are not mine
these waters broke the tie that binds
So mote it be
