She led me to the waterfront
I cast a skimming stone
three bounces secured true love that day
seeds of future lives were sown
we married in a small town church
two rings blessed with a kiss
a baby was born the following spring
three bounces gave us bliss
alas, our bairn was taken after three short years
from this it became hard to recover
so we walked back to the waterfront
three bounces, this time, cast by my lover
in the years that passed, five children were raised
each one filled with joy and laughter
the first born was always spoke of and rejoiced
as much as the ones that came after
we often led them to the waterfront
they cast skimming stones, perfecting the art
my love and I smiled with pride
three bounces was just the start
I cast a skimming stone
three bounces secured true love that day
seeds of future lives were sown
we married in a small town church
two rings blessed with a kiss
a baby was born the following spring
three bounces gave us bliss
alas, our bairn was taken after three short years
from this it became hard to recover
so we walked back to the waterfront
three bounces, this time, cast by my lover
in the years that passed, five children were raised
each one filled with joy and laughter
the first born was always spoke of and rejoiced
as much as the ones that came after
we often led them to the waterfront
they cast skimming stones, perfecting the art
my love and I smiled with pride
three bounces was just the start
