lyrics

In the evening riding in the riverview
I was humming to the dreamer blues
Not lackadaisical
But here the world spins a little slower

Though we may have no happy cabbage
We packed our world away into our paltry baggage
Shed our worries, love
You couldn't look or feel any finer

So just come back down to the river
You can steal away from dusking days for a while
It's not quite the same when you're down by the riverside
Listen closely
It'll sing

Oh, I'll be waiting here
Waiting here for you, my dear
Down by the riverside

So play up that old piana
The riverside will be our overgrown veranda
Oh, I'm not leaving
No matter what the season brings

As long as we can play guitar, we can sing
You croon and I will softly dazzle the strings forever

We're all adrift in the scheme
Of a weathered, ethereal dream
And now we've found
This wholesome sound
That spins us around and around
In a dizzying whirl

I'll be waiting here
Waiting for you
If you ever wanna find me
Just follow the sunflower moon
