Why Don't You Meet Me at the River?

Why don't you meet me at the river? The waves are calming down Why don't you meet me at the river? We can lay out on the ground The boats are tied up in the dock now The sailors have come in The rocks have risen from the water The tide is falling in, so... Why don't you meet me at the river? The sky's starting to change Why don't you meet me at the river? There's no sound left but the train The benches have all emptied out And the tourists all went home We can enjoy the stillness Of sitting alone Your eyes outshine the water When the sun washes your face Your smile is like a golden sunbeam When the grey clouds all break Your voice sings a sweeter song Than any man can make If we let the fishes dance to it We can watch the water shake So, why don't you meet me at the river? Put our feet out on the grass Why don't you meet me at the river? We can make the moonlight last
