Slowly now, I will wonder Down a path To the water Softly now, I will venture To the edge Of her pleasure But then beyond her bank I will not go, I will not go I have no place to hold my heart To call my own, to call my own And as the water rises, softly I will go Gently down, I will lay her By a brook Bounding her there But then beyond her bank I will not go, I will not go I have no place to hold my heart To call my own, to call my own And as the water rises, softly I will go Why can't we be like All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers Why can't we be like All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers Why can't we be like All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers All the lovers Ooh
