Down By The Riverside

Hold my hand
Push your feet straight through those grains of sand
Keep your ear to the ground and your mouth in my ear
No nose
Breaststroke through the clouds
Untie your hair from the waters below

(I'll) Hold her hand
Woah now! Tumbled tears, freckled fears
That you're yet to meet your promised land
The gates will stay open they don't close to those who are
Kind
Stay close, it's you and me not your thoughts
Grow old, marry me?
Never mind

Down by the riverside, we'll walk
Falling backwards into ourselves, losing track of the clocks
I can't touch my toes
Don't feel my nose
Got rough elbows
Come move in close
Down by the riverside, we'll walk

Hold his hand
And he'll hold your hand now
Woah now! Dancing rays on the lakes
Pillowed bed, lay your head, it's your land
Lay your head down, honey lay your head
Speak from your heart, then your soul
Like a kid as if you don't care
If we don't care, then who cares?
Patterns played with your hands, it never left you
Rest and follow cos you'll fix it up
There

Down by the riverside, we'll walk
Falling backwards into ourselves, losing track of the clocks
I can't touch my toes
Don't feel my nose
Got rough elbows
Come move in close
Down by the riverside, we'll walk

Oh honey, don't walk me down
Hold me, you told me you'd hold me closely
Oh baby, we'll soon leave this town
Oh honey, you can't talk me down
I've been walking and talking
Pretending my life, yeah
Oh honey, you can't fool me now

(Come on now!)
Down by the riverside, we'll walk
Falling backwards into ourself and losing track of the clocks
I can't touch my toes
Don't feel my nose
Got rough elbows
Come move in close
Down by the riverside, we'll walk

(Get down to the river!)
Down by the riverside, we'll walk
Lalalalalalalala
I'm falling backwards into myself and losing track of the clocks
Lalalalalalalala
I can't touch my toes
Don't feel my nose
I got rough elbows
But come move in close
Down by the riverside, we'll walk

Down by the riverside, we'll walk
