Riverside

I will wait for you, by the riverside By the river It's quiet down there at night By the riverside Let's fish for gold and throw off our rags Paint a new scene where the shopping trolley snags, and we're in Into the river I will watch you sink, to the river bed Ripped then washed then laid On the river bed I do believe that I had no choice You have another now you're paying the price, for the high-life Into the river I turn back round to head for land, and saw the oyster in my hand Spit the pearl into the sea I paddled franticly back down, to where I left there on the ground Where I put her jelly off to sleep I will wait for you, to come up for air Say my sorry's, praise the lord It will be good to have you here Things ebb before they flow Just like the summer, needs to have snow We need light, we need dark Before you take off, you must come down Come down, come down, come down, come down, come down, come down Down, down, down, down, down by the river There is life and then there is none We need moisture, combined with the sun So we can tap-dance Create lights Into the river we climb in at night
