I will wait for you, by the riverside 

By the river 

It's quiet down there at night 

By the riverside 



Let's fish for gold and throw off our rags 

Paint a new scene where the shopping trolley snags, and we're in 

Into the river 



I will watch you sink, to the river bed 

Ripped then washed then laid 

On the river bed 



I do believe that I had no choice 

You have another now you're paying the price, for the high-life 

Into the river 



I turn back round to head for land, and saw the oyster in my hand 

Spit the pearl into the sea 

I paddled franticly back down, to where I left there on the ground 

Where I put her jelly off to sleep 



I will wait for you, to come up for air 

Say my sorry's, praise the lord 

It will be good to have you here 



Things ebb before they flow 

Just like the summer, needs to have snow 

We need light, we need dark 

Before you take off, you must come down 

Come down, come down, come down, come down, come down, come down 

Down, down, down, down, down by the river 



There is life and then there is none 

We need moisture, combined with the sun 

So we can tap-dance 

Create lights 

Into the river we climb in at night
