Green River

Green River I've come back to you do you remember me
Do you remember Molly with the soft blue eyes
I left here with a lot of dreams none of them came true
What I wanted was here waiting all the time
Green River did she come here every evening
Like the neighbors say she did so faithfully
Green River has she's gone away forever
She just disappeared one day as she gave upon me
Green River if you see her won't you tell her I'll return
All I've brought her is myself and this little dream
Please tell her that I love her and my lesson I have learned
Green River tell her please come back to me
