Trinity River Lyrics

He took me down by the river just to watch the sun set

It was summer in Texas and we'd only just met

The sky turned deep blue and purple blending into blood red

And all that natural splendor might have gone to my head

He took me down by the river just to look at the sky

And watch the ripples in the water shimmer in the sunlight

We sat there shoulder to shoulder watching day become night

But then he pulled me in closer, wrapped his hand around mine

It was the Trinity River that got the best of me

The Trinity River in all its quiet majesty

The Trinity River, he stole my heart from me

Down by the Trinity River

He took me down by the river in the town he calls home

He knew the prettiest spot where we could be all alone

And there he took me down, he took me gentle and slow

He took all of my loving and my heart for his own

He took me down by the river on a warm summer night

And the moment was magic, everything was just right

Just the sound of the water and the dwindling light

Bet I'll remember that evening for the rest of my life

It was the Trinity River that got the best of me

The Trinity River in all its quiet majesty

The Trinity River exposed my vulnerability

The Trinity River

It was the Trinity River, just flowing into eternity

The Trinity River in all its wordless poetry

The Trinity River I fell in love so easily down by the Trinity River
