Down By The River

[00:01.93] City life was gettin′ us down

[00:05.88] So we spent the weekend out of town

[00:07.32] Pitched the tent on the patch of ground

[00:10.94] Down by the river

[00:13.05] Lit a fire and drank some wine

[00:16.95] You put your jeans on the top of mine

[00:19.18] Said, come in the water's fine

[00:22.29] Down by the river

[00:24.87] Down by the river

[00:27.16] Down by the river

[00:30.03] Said, come in the water′s fine

[00:33.15] Down by the river

[00:37.16] Didn't feel too good all night

[00:39.67] So we took a walk in the morning light

[00:41.39] Came across the strangest sight

[00:45.33] Down by the river

[00:49.02] Silver fish lay on its side

[00:50.74] It was washed up by the early tide

[00:52.45] I wonder how it died

[00:54.14] Down by the river

[00:58.08] Down by the river

[01:00.05] Down by the river

[01:02.89] Silver fish lay on its side

[01:04.61] Down by the river

[01:09.16] Doctor put us both to bed

[01:11.41] He dosed us up and he shook his head

[01:14.00] Only foolish people go, he said

[01:17.91] Down by the river

[01:19.81] Why do willows weep, said he

[01:23.26] Because they're dying gradually

[01:24.72] From the waste, from the factories

[01:28.37] Down by the river

[01:30.96] Down by the river

[01:32.64] Down by the river

[01:35.15] Why do willows weep, said he

[01:38.02] Down by the river

[01:43.15] In time, the river banks will die

[01:44.55] The reeds will wilt and the ducks won′t fly

[01:46.51] There′ll be a tear in the otter's eye

[01:50.76] Down by the river

[01:53.06] The banks will soon be black and dead

[01:54.77] And where the otter raised his head

[01:57.35] Will be a clean white stone instead

[02:01.03] Down by the river

[02:03.32] Down by the river

[02:05.63] Down by the river

[02:07.03] Will be a clean white stone instead

[02:11.80] Down by the river
