Recently have been listening to "Tracks" quite a bit, especially the fourth disc of 
this song comes from. It's classic Bruce: simple, effective, brilliant. Enjoy.

                 Em                     G
I walk along the levee to see the gypsy man
                   Em                          G
The dirt 'neath my feet baby's turnin' to quicksand
                  Em                          G
He looked into my palm, then looked me in the eye
                     Em         C        G
And told me you were gone, gone over the rise


                 Em                   G
Once we stood together at the wishing well
                 Em                          G
Our wishes like dreams, baby, into the water fell
          Em                                           G
Oh then I kissed your lips but when I looked into your eyes
               Em         C        G
Baby they were gone, gone over the rise


            Em                                G
Tonight the blackbirds fly low on the water's edge
                  Em                        G
Oh we walked this path not knowing where it led
                               Em                            G
Now at the bottom of the river deep lies something shiny and gold
                       Em            C                 G
Is a promise that love couldn't keep same as a promise broken?


             Em                        G
Well I woke last night to the sound of rain
                  Em                          G
The wind rustling branches against the window pane
                        Em                       G
I searched the pillow beside me for the tears we cried
              Em          C        G
Baby they were gone, gone over the rise...
