I was born In the calm before the storm In the quiet hour of dawn With the full moon in my eyes. I was kissed By the rolling river mist That betrayed the lovers' tryst A mysterious disguise. Cut like a diamond Sharper than steel Sweet as the razor's edge Before the jagged wheel. I am lost I have sold my heart at cost On the bridges that we crossed I have carved my name in stone. Bitter wife You have cut me like a knife I could never take a life That could never take its own. I was born In the calm before the storm In the quiet hour of dawn With the full moon in my eyes. I will die With the sun high in the sky With the river rolling by Far below the bridge of sighs.
