|
I caught you down by the river again |
|
Down where the river girls lie |
|
It's two quiet tearless years it's been |
|
And you still can't say goodbye |
|
You'd have done better to call a friend |
|
You'd have done better to cry |
|
This river's gonna run |
|
Till the sun in the sky |
|
Burns hot enough |
|
To boil it dry |
|
You keep on following |
|
What's running away |
|
Then you might as well yourself |
|
Just lie down with them |
|
Some river girls make their way |
|
To the sea |
|
Some settle into the bed |
|
I caught you down |
|
Trying to figure it out |
|
When you could have been |
|
Calling me instead |
|
Come home |
|
Leave it alone |
|
Lift your pretty face to sun |
|
This river's gonna run |
|
Till the sun in the sky |
|
Burns hot enough |
|
To boil it dry |
|
You keep on following |
|
What's running away |
|
Then you might as well yourself |
|
Just lie down with them |
|
Two quiet tearless years |
