Slow Black River - Iron & Wine

Lost my watch, watch and chain, but time’s not lost

This time we walk together beside the slow black river

Water-walking over mud you whisper something

Something good in my ear, so I stop so I can hear:

«Darling, I’m the one to blame, I threw your watch and chain

To where I don’t know, inside the tall grass meadow

You’ll forget, forget in time, remember this:

Your hand in mine forever, beside the slow black river»

Lost my watch, watch and chain, to her today

But time it has no meaning when her and me are walking

Darling, I’m the one to blame, I love you still

And timeless now forever together by the river
