Take me down to the river

Where I would not go before

Through the trees and the rushes

To a place we both know

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, na-na-na-na, na-na, na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na

Na, na-na, na-na, na-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

Da-da, da-da

Da-da-da, da-da

Da-da, da-da

Oh, oh

Oh
