A lone loon dives upon the water
 I put my hand over her
 Down in the lime tree arbour
 The wind in the trees is whispering
 Whispering low that I love her
 She puts her hand over mine
 Down in the lime tree arbour
 Through every breath that I breathe
 And every place I go
 There is hand that protects me
 And I do love her so
 There will always be suffering
 It flows through life like water
 I put my hand over hers
 Down in the lime tree arbour
 The boatman he has gone
 And the loons have flown for cover
 She puts her hand over mine
 Down in the lime tree arbour
 Through every word that I speak
 And every thing I know
 There is hand that protects me
 And I do love her so
