To Love Is To Bury - Cowboy Junkies

I buried him down by the river

'Cause that's where he liked to be

And every night when the moon is high

I go there and weep openly

He and I were married

By this river 'neath this willow tree

And with God and friends witnessing it

He pledged his life to me

To me he was Earth

And I rooted in his soil

I to he was Sky vast and free

Of the burdens from which he toiled

Then one night a terrible fight

Words spoken better left unsaid

With his wedding vows ringing in my ears

He gave his life to me

They say to love is to bury

Those demons from which we all hide

But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree

Becoming one of Earth and Sky
