Down By the River - Jon Allen
Do you remember
You took my hand
And we walked out
Across the fields
Down the lane
And over the railway line
Our hearts were
Racing our feet were chasing
We were looking for
A hide away
Getting lost and
Losing track of time
We went down by the river
We went down by the river
Where the water ran slow
Was where we let
Our loving run free
We went down by the river
We went down by the river
Just laying low
My true love and me
You let your long
Brown hair hang down
Your summer dress
Was swaying in the breeze
When we were skimming
Stones across the stream
You had a lazy style
And a carefree smile
You were a breathless
Beauty to behold
The sweetest
Sight my eyes had ever seen
We went down by the river
We went down by the river
Where the water ran slow
Was where we let
Our loving run free
We went down by the river
We went down by the river
Just laying low
My true love and me
Well waters rise
And streams divide
And that river
Keeps rolling on
Paper boats
And pleasure drift away
And you may be
Just a memory
But you're shinning
Like a distant star
It seems to me
As clear as yesterday
We went down by the river
We went down by the river
Where the water ran slow
Was where we
Let our loving run free
We went down by the river
We went down by the river
Just laying low
My true love and me
