Alas I Cannot Swim

Theres a house across the river

but alas i cannot swim

And a garden of such beauty

that the flowers seem to grin

Theres a house across the river

but alas i cannot swim

I'll live my life regretting that i never jumped in!

Theres a boy across the river

with short black curly hair

He wants to be my lover

and i want to be his peer

Theres a boy across the river

but alas i cannot swim

And i never will get to put my arms around him

Theres a life across the river

that was ment for me

instead i live my life in constant misery

Theres a life across the river

but i do not see

why i should please those who will never be pleased

There is gold across the river

but i dont want none

There is gold across the river

but i dont 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 dont want none

I would rather be dry

then held up by a golden gun
