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 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
