Old Man River’s laughing at me
making fun of my misery

I didn’t know the calamity
That losing you would bring me

The Moon said I’d be lonely
Without you, my one and only

The Stars said I’d cry a river too
And fill the lake with tears of blue

But I said, hey, what do they know?
But I knew when I watched you go

Now I taste my own tears of misery
Knowing what a fool I am to set you free

But without you I’m really not free
But a prisoner by my own perfidy

They wrote it all down, what I’ve done
Somewhere between clouds and sun
