She walked her down to the long,wet grass
Then she slipped out of her raincoat
She held her softly till the wind had passed

Then she put her down so slowly

Underneath a cotton white sky

The water splashed the blanket
Then she pulled her hands away
And let the river take what she'd carried


She whispered
I love you

I love you
I love you


She ran back up the road she'd always take
And then she stopped to catch her breath
There in the distance the traffic honked and roared

The evening sky was gold and red

She whispered

I love you
I love you
I love you
