Take me down to the river
where I would not go before
Through the trees and the rushes
to a 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, na na nana, nana na, na na na, na na nana, na na, na na na, na na nana, nana na, la nana nana 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
Lala, la la la, la la la, la lala, la la la, la
