I saw you Monday in your simple dress
and the wind was lost and tossed your hair around.
I heard a song then - you couldn't hear,

And I looked into your face and there was nothing there.

Along the river, they found you there.
You were beautiful, your hair spread on the ground.
I thought you laughed then - I strained to hear
But the listening air was heavy with a gentle sound
And that muddy lullaby was all I ever found.
