The Riverside

as the sun starts to set in a southern sky

you hold your breath like your dyin'

for everything your heart desires

and as you see the twilight sinkin'

thinkin' like your all alone

catch your tears and wash your feelings

tomorrow will always come

don't go down to the river down to the riverside

I hope that your situation starts to turn out right

don't go down to the river down to the riverside

all the lonely are swimmin' their troubles tonight

the wide open spaces of your mind have all but gone

the days of simple existence refresh your soul

you've got to think that your needed

for who and what you are

so keep watchin' that southern sky

cause every night is broken at dawn

and every reason that seems to mystify you

you can always make believe

and every wish or dream that comes to your mind

don't drown it by the riverside

don't go down to the river way down to the riverside
