Alas i cannot swim
There's a house across the river,but alas. I cannot swimAnd a garden of such beauty that the flowersseem to grinThere's a house across the river,but alas, I cannot swimI'll live my life regretting that I never jumped in.
There's a boy across the riverwith short black curly hair,He wants to be my loverand I want to be his peer,
There's a boy across the riverbut alas, I cannot swim,And I never will get to put my arms around him.
There's a life across the riverthat was meant for me,Instead I live my lifein constant misery.
There's a life across the riverbut I do not seeWhy I should please thosethat will never be pleased.
There is gold across the riverbut I don't want noneThere is gold across the riverbut I don't 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 riverbut I don't want noneI would rather be drythan held up by a golden gun
Saying 'work more and more'live more,have more fun.Saying 'work more and more'live more,have more fun.Saying 'work more and more'live more,have more fun.
