I le ft a woman waiting
I met h er sometime later
She sa id "I see your e yes ar e dead
W hat happened to you lover?
W hat happened to y ou my lover?
W hat happened to y ou lover?
W hat happened to you ?"
And since s he spoke the truth to me
I tr ied to answer t ruthfully
"Whatever happened t o my eyes
H appened to your b eauty
H appened to your b eauty
W hat happened to your b eauty
H appened to m e"
We took ours elves to s omeone's bed
A nd there we f ell tog ether
Q uick as d ogs and t ruly d ead w ere w e
A nd free as running w ater
F ree as running w ater
F ree as running w ater
F ree as you and m e
" The way it's got to b e
T he way it's got t o be love r"
