Girl Across the River Video (MV)

When I was younger, some years younger
Some years younger than today
I just had left my parents' home
I knew a girl across the river
I guess she lived there on her own
I guess she lived there on her own

One day I went down to the river
Just to waste a little time
Then I saw her bathing naked
And I wished that she were mine
And I wished that she were mine
Oh, yes, I wished that she were mine

But the river was deep and the river was wide
And I could not get across to the other side
Yes, the river was deep and the river was wide
And I could not get across to the other side

And I could not get across to the other side

The summer passed and I moved away
Dreaming of holding her one day
Dreaming of holding her one day

Two years ago I settled down here
Without ever thinking of her for a year
Without ever thinking of her for a year

And the river was deep and the river was wide
Still I made it across to the other side
Still I made it across to the other side
Still I made it across to the other side
Still I made it across to the other side

Then came the rain
The spring and the flood
And I finally held her
All covered with blood

And I finally held her
All covered with blood

And I finally held her
All covered with blood

And the river was deep and the river was wide
And I buried a dream on the other side
And I buried a dream on the other side
Yes, I buried my dream on the other side
Yes, I buried my dream on the other side
