 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 da da, 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.
