Down by the Water 

Down by the water where the big dam is standing 
I met my darlin' last night 
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 darlin last night 
When the big sluice was open 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 his hair as 
He told me to listen once more 
I heard the wind making waves on the water 
That reached for the shore 

So many reasons like drops from a raincloud 
He could have been talking all night 
Instead hejust 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 darlin last night 
While the pale moon was sinking I lay there drinking 
And listening to my heart 

Down by the water, we fell apart 
Down by the water, right from the start 
Down by the water, quick as dew 
Down by the water
