Cocker / Senior / Mackey / Doyle / Banks

Take me down to the river, where I would not go before.

Through the trees and the rushes, to the 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.

Na na na...

Oh and the river ran dry that next year

I could not find your body

Now I 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.

La Ia Ia Ia Ia...
