Why don't you meet me at the river?
The waves are calming down
Why don't you meet me at the river?
We can lay out on the ground
The boats are tied up in the dock now
The sailors have come in
The rocks have risen from the water
The tide is falling in, so...
Why don't you meet me at the river?
The sky's starting to change
Why don't you meet me at the river?
There's no sound left but the train
The benches have all emptied out
And the tourists all went home
We can enjoy the stillness
Of sitting alone
Your eyes outshine the water
When the sun washes your face
Your smile is like a golden sunbeam
When the grey clouds all break
Your voice sings a sweeter song
Than any man can make
If we let the fishes dance to it
We can watch the water shake
So, why don't you meet me at the river?
Put our feet out on the grass
Why don't you meet me at the river?
We can make the moonlight last
