Down by the River

They've got Floodlights by the riverside Turning the night bright to try and find you They've got Floodlights by the riverside Turning the night bright to try and find you This whole town is out tonight Hoping they'll find that you're alright They've got Floodlights by the riverside Turning the night bright to try and find you Candles burn out Flashlights are spent It's late but no one is giving up just yet They've got Floodlights by the riverside Turning the night bright to try and find you Mothers will cry Fathers keep it all inside Families will not get over this night The lights go out, Lifeboats come in One by one by one by one They've got Floodlights by the riverside Turning the night bright to try and find you There were lights down by the riverside But now they're gone And so it seems are you
