Laura

Laura lies in the river, and lets her hair flow free. Laura lying in the river, my mother warns me to not get so close to thee. I speak to you and you smile at me, beckoning me closer with the crook of your finger. My mother pulls me back and gives me a smack and tells me Laura lying in the river would drown me surely so. Laura lying in the river, I wish to visit you so, and it's a secret I'll keep from my mother, because she would not have me go. Laura lies in the river, her world so bleak and cold,  Laura lies in the river, and one day she'll have me to hold.
