Alas I Cannot Swim |
|
|
|
There's a house across the river, but alas. I cannot swim |
|
And a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin |
|
There's a house across the river, but alas, I cannot swim |
|
I'll live my life regretting that I never jumped in. |
|
|
|
There's a boy across the river with short black curly hair, |
|
He wants to be my lover and I want to be his peer, |
|
There's a boy across the river but alas, I cannot swim, |
|
And I never will get to put my arms around him. |
|
|
|
There's a life across the river that was meant for me, |
|
Instead I live my life in constant misery. |
|
There's a life across the river but I do not see |
|
Why I should please those that will never be pleased. |
|
|
|
There is gold across the river but I don't want none |
|
There is gold across the river but I don't want none |
|
|
|
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun |
|
Gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun |
|
|
|
There is gold across the river but I don't want none |
|
I would rather be dry than held up by a golden gun |
|

Saying work more earn more live more, have more fun. |
|
Saying work more earn more live more, have more fun. |
|
Saying work more earn more live more, have more fun. |
