The boy across the river.

There's a house across the river
but alas i cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty
that the flowers seem to grin
Theres a house across the river
but alas i cannot swim
I'll live my life regretting that i never jumped in!

There's a boy across the river
with short black curly hair
He wants to be my lover
and i want to be his peer
There's a boy across the river
but alas i cannot swim
And i never will get to put my arms around him

There's a life across the river
that was ment for me
instead i live my life in constant misery
Theres a life across the river
but i do not see
why i should please those who will never be pleased

-Laura Marling, Alas I Cannot Swim.
