Down by the River Lyrics

Down by the river, where you first took my hand

Down by the river, writing names in the sand

Then you're gone, coz other lives are calling

Down by the river I stood there alone

Time flows by, like the river to the sea

Unchanging as it flows on by

But time flows on by through me

I was down by the river, when you found me again

Promised a future and you'd never leave again

Then you're gone, coz other lives are calling

Down by the river I stood there alone

Time flows by, like the river to the sea

Unchanging as it flows on by

But time flows on by through me

Down by the river, when we meet up again

Older and wiser, together now we stand

Hand in hand, no other lives are calling

Down by the river we stood there as one

Time flows by, and the river takes us onward

Unchanging as it flows to the sea

But this time, together, through eternity
