After fighting with my wife, I went and set by the river. I took out pen and paper, and wrote what I was seeing in front of me. I come to the conclusion that I will always want to come home again.

Lyrics
The sun sinks low
A warm summer breeze
Blows thru the willow trees
Kids splash around
Trying to beat the heat
Their laughter is like a melody
An old oak tree
With a long rope swing
Makes a shade for you and me
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Than lying with you on the banks
Banks of the old Sabine
The river runs deep
And holds many memories
A lifetime of you and me
It's were I was baptized
When I was sixteen
It's where I took my first drink
And we made love
One hot July night
And you said yes you would be my wife
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Than lying with you on the banks
Banks of the old Sabine
Time like a river
Rolls to the sea
And takes it toll on you and me
When my time here is thru
Do one favor for me
Don't let em burry me
Sprinkle my ashes
On a warm summer breeze
And I'll float down the old Sabine
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Than lying with you on the banks
Banks of the old Sabine
