|
They stood on the bridge together |
|
And watched the river flow |
|
And to pledge themselves forever |
|
A place where lovers go |
|
To fix a lock upon the bridge |
|
And each would have a key |
|
That told of their eternal love |
|
The way that it must be |
|
And with this key, she said I give |
|
My soul, my love, my heart |
|
And if the lock should go from here |
|
Then I will know that we must part |
|
Oh but soon he had to leave her |
|
To be a soldier far away |
|
And she would go down to the cathedral |
|
And every morning pray |
|
To light a candle for her love |
|
To bring him safely home |
|
But on the day the letter came |
|
She knew that he was gone |
|
With trembling hands, she opened it |
|
To read the words which said |
|
"It is with deep regret we must |
|
Inform you that he's missing, believed dead" |
|
She stood on the bridge at midnight |
|
And watched the river flow |
|
And the lock was in her fingers |
|
Into the water she would go |
|
But in the distance heard a voice |
|
Calling out her name |
|
And as he ran to her, she fell |
|
In his arms again |
|
And with this key I gave, he said |
|
My soul, my love, my heart |
|
And when I saw the lock was gone |
|
I knew that we could never be apart |
|
We will never part... |
