LYRICS

They stand on the bridge together
and watched the river flow
and to pledge themselves forever
a place where lovers go
To fix a lock upon the bridge
and each would have a key
that told of their eternal love
the way that it must be

And with this key
she said I give
my soul, my love, my heart
and if the lock should go from here
then I will know that we must part

But soon he had to leave her
to be a soldier far away
she would go down to the cathedral
and every morning pray
to light a candle for her love
to bring him safely home
but on the day the letter came
she knew that he was gone
with trembling hands
she opened it
to read the words which said
"it is with deep regret we must inform that you he´s missing,
believe dead"
and with this key
I gave, he said
my soul, my love, my heart
and when I saw the lock was gone
I knew that we could never
be apart
