Black River deep and still

in the summer sun

a promise rise she will

walk on before she runs



The evening dream awakes

honeysuckle sweet

by day the levee breaks

surround her like a wreath



I'm not in love

(Black River deep and still

in the summer sun)

I'm not in love

(a promise rise she will

walk on before she runs)



She tried to hold the moon

still the river rose

autumn yellow wanes to soon

goodbye to all she knows



I'm not in love

(Black River deep and still

in the summer sun)

I'm not in love

(a promise rise she will

walk on before she runs
