|
Down by the water where the big dam is standing |
|
I met my darling last night |
|
And while the pale moon was sinking |
|
We lay there drinking |
|
And listening to our hearts |
|
Down by the water with the steel turbines humming |
|
I held my darling last night |
|
And when the big sluice was opened the river went running |
|
And turned on the lights |
|
Down by the water, I thought I knew |
|
Down by the water, quick as the dew |
|
Down by the water |
|
Cool was the air through the folds of her hair |
|
As she told me to listen once more |
|
And I heard the wind making waves on the water |
|
That reached for the shore |
|
So many reasons, like drops from a rain cloud |
|
She could've been talking all night |
|
Instead she just left me, and I watched the river drain out of sight |
|
Down by the water, I thought I knew |
|
Down by the water, quick as the dew |
|
Down by the water |
|
Down by the water where the big dam is standing |
|
I met my darling last night |
|
And while the pale moon was sinking |
|
We lay there drinking |
|
And listening to our hearts |
|
Down by the water, we fell apart |
|
Down by the water, right from the start |
|
Down by the water, quick as the dew |
|
Down by the water |
