The light was fading fast
The night was coming in
And the moon came up
Sailing on the river of dreams
Then you held my hand
And took me in mid stream
To the borders
Of another world it seemed

Down by the river
On a winter's afternoon
In the twilight hour
My love and I did roam
Sweet words were spoken
Beneath the stars above
As we sailed away
Down the river of love

Just let the river flow
Wherever it needs to be
For tonight the world
Is a warm sweet mystery
The world is strange indeed
And mysteries abound
Like the sky full of stars
High above this muddy ground

Down by the river
On a winter's afternoon
In the twilight hour
My love and I did roam
Sweet words were spoken
Beneath the stars above
As we sailed away
Down the river of love
