Down by the Water

Lyrics

Down by the water where the big dam is standing I met my darling last night And while the pale moon was sinking We lay there drinking And listening to our hearts Down by the water with the steel turbines humming I held my darling last night And when the big sluice was opened the river went running And turned on the lights Down by the water, I thought I knew Down by the water, quick as the dew Down by the water Cool was the air through the folds of her hair As she told me to listen once more And I heard the wind making waves on the water That reached for the shore So many reasons, like drops from a rain cloud She could've been talking all night Instead she just left me, and I watched the river drain out of sight Down by the water, I thought I knew Down by the water, quick as the dew Down by the water Down by the water where the big dam is standing I met my darling last night And while the pale moon was sinking We lay there drinking And listening to our hearts Down by the water, we fell apart Down by the water, right from the start Down by the water, quick as the dew Down by the water
