[Verse
Old man by the river
Whisperin' to the tide
Trace the lines on his hand
Where the memories hide
With a tear and a sigh
Beneath a cloudy sky
He murmurs tales long forgotten
Oh me
Oh my
[Verse 2
Lover left at dawn
Fingers slipped like rain
Promises were broken
Washed down like a drain
The sun crept through the window
Her silhouette goodbye
Faded photograph on the mantel
Oh me
Oh my
[Chorus
Oh me
Oh my
The world keeps spinnin' round
Hearts break and mend
Leaves fall to the ground
We carry on the sorrow
We lift the heavy sky
In the whisper of the willow
Oh me
Oh my
[Verse 3
Young girl in the meadow
Dreams of foreign lands
Wishes on a dandelion
Blown across the sands
The horizon beckons brightly
The clouds rollin' by
Hope in her young eyes
Oh me
Oh my
[Verse 4
Village on the hillside
Smoke curls to the blue
Children playing freely
With nothin' much to do
Days pass like shadows
Under the watchful eye
Stories born and buried
Oh me
Oh my
[Chorus
Oh me
Oh my
The world keeps spinnin' round
Hearts break and mend
Leaves fall to the ground
We carry on the sorrow
We lift the heavy sky
In the whisper of the willow
Oh me
Oh my
