Lyrics A Night On The River - Chris De Burgh

A Night On The River

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake
I think I’ve gone and made my big mistake
I took her swimming, we had a fight
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight
And it looks like I’m heading for a night on the river
Under the moon and the stars
Looks like I’m heading for a night on the river
Me and my beating heart, singing in the dark
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake
If she was here I wouldn’t hesitate
To tell her how, the way things are
With a long conversation in the back of a car
And it looks like I’m heading for a night on the river
Under the moon and the stars
Could be I’m heading for a night on the river
Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;
I think she owes me an explanation
She’s got the whip hand in this situation
If I try to tell her just the way I feel
It could start the whole thing all over again
Ooh, I think I’m heading for a night on the river
Under the moon and the stars
Could be I’m heading for a night on the river
But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark
Ooh, could be we’re heading for a mm-mm
Under the moon and the stars
Could be we’re heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts
We’re singing in the dark…
