There was a woman Most folks knew her well Quiet and lonely Dreaming of a better life When a little money came her way Every man saw her worth One by one she turned them down She lingered by the river's edge Tell me what happened to her What lies beneath the cold waters The river carried every clue Downstream into the night Rumors spread on every street Every whisper sounded true No one knew the whole story Only lost pieces people knew Tell me what happened to her What lies beneath the cold waters The river carried every clue Downstream into the night Rumors spread on every street. Every whisper sounded true. Some folks claimed they knew what happened... Most never questioned what they were told. I stood beside the river Watching memories drift by Wondering if I'd been there Would she still be here tonight Tell me what happened to her What lies beneath the cold waters The river carried every clue Downstream into the night
