Jamie's Secret

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

Near river bend where the stream runs clear

One winter morning of a day last year

I heard a secret that I now can say

Concerning Jamie, who's past awayIf you had known her then you'd agree

Her smiling eyes could make a blind man see

She laughed with innocence and she moved with style

Full grown lover with childlike smileShe moved out West where the air is clean

To study poetry at Evergreen

I thought I'd see her in a year or two

Till we heard rumors

That I feared were trueThey never found where she went that night

The man she lived with said they'd had a fight

She left that cabin to walk alone

He kept the light on

But she never came homeShe must have gone by the riverside

The searchers say that's how she must have died

The winter water was cold with snow

An icy boulder

And down she'd goWell I heard the news but I could not cry

I should be shattered but my eyes were dry

To feel no sorrow was my surprise

But the words came easy

For those last goodbyesTill I took a walk by the river bend

Where once we lingered when she was my friend

I tried to melt the river of tears inside

The river flowed

But joy I criedShe may be gone from this life we know

She may have frozen in the ice and snow

There's a secret that my heart can't tell

Except to say

That she's safe and wellNear river bend where the stream runs clear

One winter morning of a day last year

I heard a secret that I now can say

Concerning Jamie, who's passed away
