By the Bend of the River

By the bend of the river
Where rushes are growing
And waters are flowing
Far down to the sea

On a soft, balmy June night
In the shimmering moonlight
I know that my own true love is waiting for me

In the cool of the evening
When the shadows are falling
I can hear my love calling so softly to me

To the scent of the heather
In fair summer weather
We'll drift down together
My true love and me

By the bend of the river
Where rushes are growing
And waters are flowing
Far down to the sea

On a soft, balmy June night
In the shimmering moonlight
I know that my own true love is waiting for me

In the cool of the evening
When the shadows are falling
I can hear my love calling so softly to me

Through the scent of the heather
In fair summer weather
We'll drift down together
Far down to the sea

In the shimmering moonlight
In the cool of the evening
I know that my own true love is waiting for me
