I went down
where the water meets sand
There I met the strangest man
He made my heart beat
like a horse running wild
I clung to him like an orphan child

I trusted the devil when he
wore a mans disguise
He reached deep down inside me
When he looked into my eyes
Now I can never be satisfied

I still feel his hands on my hips
And his kiss still burns my lips
I can’t escape him,
in my veins he runs
I cannot cut
the hand from the thumb

O I trusted the devil when he
wore a mans disguise
He reached deep down inside me
When he looked into my eyes
And now I can never be satisfied

He had a travelers sack
and a cloak so black
Everything he took, I want it back
Can’t trust no kindness, it only
breaks your stride
Now the strangest man
made me the devil’s bride

Now my grief’s a river,
running deep and wide
I cannot cross to the other side
It floods its banks
with these tears I cry
He broke my heart with all his lies
But I still go down
where the water meets sand
There I wait for the strangest man
