Run Me Down River
One dark and strange night I went walking out alone
Listening to the reeds, following their song
Like a sailor follows a siren, I was underneath a spell
Closer to the levy, I went down the stairwell
Run me down, ohh river, run me down, drift me away
Cool me down with your fingertips
Take me out to sea if I ever go under
So still and serene, taking hearts just like mine
Made of no sin, bathed in moonshine
Men of the sea they fall to their knees
At the water's edge beggin' please
But I am no fool and I've learnt not to fall
But I sure love nights like these when I hear the river call
Run me down, ohh river, run me down, drift me away
Cool me down with your fingertips
Take me out to sea if I ever go under
Have you ever seen the apricot sky
Have you ever heard a siren cry
Have you ever felt white blossom fall on your cheek
Ever hear the echo of the reeds in your sleep
Run me down, ohh river, run me down, drift me away
Cool me down oh with your fingertips
Take me out to sea if I ever if I ever
La di da di da di da da di da da
La di da di da di da da di da da
La di da di da di da da di da da Da
La di da di da di da da di da da
La di da di da di da da di da da
La di da di da di da da di da da
La di da di da di da da di da da
