I Wandered By a Brookside lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wandered by a brookside
I wandered by a mill
I could not hear the water
The murmuring it was still
Not a sound of any grasshopper
Nor the chirp of any bird

[Refrain]
But the beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard
The beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard

[Verse 2]
Then silent tears fast flowing
When someone stood beside
A hand upon my shoulder
I knew the touch was kind
He drew me near and nearer
We neither spoke one word

[Refrain]
But the beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard
The beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard
