I once saw a girl who had a heart so blue And she smoked and drank about as much as you And I was hoping, baby, we'd get out soon While the night's still young under this waning moon
And I can't think about the way we once were I can't think about his fingers running through your hair Or what goes on in my room when I'm not there
Down below, I'll meet you in the river down below
I once saw a girl who looked a lot like you Her hair was storm cloud black, her eyes were raindrop blue And all I wanted, baby, was to hold you Before the stranger comes under this waning moon
Down below, he'll meet you in the river down below Down below, he'll meet you in the river down below Let me take you down
And he'll come to see you in the window of your home To take you to the river down below And he'll come to see you in the window of your home To take you to the river down below And he'll come to see you in the window of your home To take you to the river down below
Down below, he'll meet you in the river down below Down below, he'll meet you in the river down below Down below, he'll meet you in the river down below
