On the banks of the river,
Where the willow hangs down
On the wild washing waters,
With that low mourning sound.
Down in the hollow
Where the water runs cold,
It was there I first listened
To the lies that you told.

(So cool, what a cool time,
It's so cool, what a cool time.
That's what you're having, I'm having one too.)

It's a cool cool time - running up the river,
It's a cool cool time, for running down the stream.
It's a cool cool time, for cutting up the profits,
It's a cool cool time, for a cool cool dream.

Call me ugly, call me crazy, call me mad:
You don't know just what I might call you.
Tell me a story - tell it up!
Tell it up, tell up your name.
Tell it up, tell it up - tell up your name.

(You know the cure,
For a broken heart?
You know the cure..)

If I come a little strong, tell me when I'm wrong.
Guide me, tell me what to do.
Come a little fast, please help this love to last,
Pity me and take me home with you.
