there's a house across the river but alas i cannot swim, and a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin. there's a house across the river but alas i cannot swim, i'll live my life regretting that i never jumped in.

there's a boy across the river with short black curly hair, he wants to be my lover and i want to be his peer. there's a boy across the river, but alas i cannot swim and i never will get to put my arms around him.

there's a life across the river that was meant for me, instead i live my life in constant misery.
there's a life across the river but i do not see why i should please those who will never be pleased..
