I buried my love down deep
in a casket, I couldn't keep

For a day or two, I did gently weep,
crying softly, sure my heart t'would break

I wiped my tears, staining filigree lace

I walked on muddy rivers edge, 
looking for a vow to keep,
Something to remind me of my youthful beliefs

All I found was decay
everything is made to fade away,

To turn to ash with the passing of the day.
