"Powder River" गीत

Last time on that lazy old river,
When last I roamed its quiet shore,
I met a girl who was more like heaven,
And her smile will last forever more.

Her eyes were of its deep blue water,
And her skin was as fresh as the dew on the leaf,
And we fell in love right there on the river,
But from its banks she would not leave.

It seemed like she was born of this water,
Like her beauty and the river were one of the same,
And my love for her was as strong as the mountain,
And by force I took her from its domain.

The river struck out like an angry lover;
He cursed me for my selfish love;
A spirit of the water arose round about me,
And my love was but for a handful of dust

Now I'm old and full of grief And by the river I still roam,
In a valley that was once like heaven
Is now churned with mud and foam.
