| I left you standing
|
| Down by the riverside in June
|
| I left you standing all alone
|
| And when I came back to you
|
| I didn’t realize it was you
|
| Oh my dear, how you have grown
|
| I walked a straight line
|
| Far away from the riverside
|
| I walked until I felt alone
|
| Down pass the beggars
|
| Out past the stores with twitching lights
|
| But not to far to turn around
|
| Walk on home, coming home
|
| Let me guide you like a flashlight
|
| In the darkness of a storm
|
| And I treated you, like I needed you
|
| To watch over
|
| We swam the river
|
| Down the stream, from town to town
|
| We swam until we nearly drowned
|
| We got out freezing
|
| Miles and miles away from home
|
| We got out cold, but not alone
|
| Between the rocks and the stars
|
| We got undressed and we laid our heads
|
| On a piece of bark and talked
|
| Till the sun came up
|
| Let me guide you like a flashlight
|
| In the darkness of a storm
|
| And I treated you, like I needed you
|
| To watch over
|
| I need a friend
|
| You need me too
|
| We row the same boat
|
| And if that boat should sink
|
| We got each other to hold onto
|
| So hold on
|
| Let me guide you like a flashlight
|
| In the darkness of a storm
|
| And I treated you, like I needed you
|
| To watch over
|
| To watch over |
