Take me down,
to the river,
where i would not go before.
through the trees and the rushes,
to a place we both know.
and i'm feeling much younger,
as i kneel on the ground,
dip my toe in the water,
of the river where i watched you drown
nadadum nananana nana na...
oh when the river ran dry that next year,
i could not find your body.
now i'm standing here ready at last,
to dive down and reach you again.
and i long to be with you
now these cold nights have come,
oh i go down to the river,
but the river will stop for no-one.
though i ask it it keeps flowing on,
when i ask it,
it tells me you're gone.
dadow...
