where All Man's River meets Maria Bay
at daybreak I will wait for you
birds we are and we will slip away
among nightingale and morning mew

now just get some sleep, the hour
will be deep by the docks on the
Golden River I want you to swear
you'll even be there in the cold
light of day

By the docks on the Golden River
what a place to start something new
by the docks on the Golden River
love will row the boat dreams are
the crew by the docks on the Golden
River

And when the tide comes in Maria Bay
we'll leave like in a fairy-tale
and send the witch and wolf who
stay behind our sweet apologies
by mail
