The River

[Verse 1] So deep in the water Sleep, dark as the night Somehow it seems it was all another dream Soon dissolved in the light [Verse 2] Oh, we were by the waterline Vague, the song of the night Innocent to all the peasant gods with you So we drink to be renewed [Chorus] On the long, deep river Where the moorhens cry As the first sun quivers in the open sky-yi-yi [Verse 3] Oh, she came down the river Soon, all the leaves were still The current was strong and the river was so long So, we drink to be renewed [Chorus] In the long cool evening When the peacocks shiver And the boat starts down the silver river way [Chorus] I remember you saying As her deep eyes opened In the first light seeing her, "Here is someone new"
