She told me she'd be waiting I'm not so sure she is
                     B                                  C#m

Well it started to rain and continued several days
                      B                         C#m
The river over-flowed and the crops all went to waste

Chorus

    C#m              B                     C#m
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child

I'm trying my best but there's too much here to do

That girl I love once told me I made her feel se-cure

It's hard to think I've been replaced. Nothing does en-dure.
