Lyrics Meet Me By the River - Matthew Ryan

Meet Me By the River

Just go to sleep
Talk is cheap
The price is steep
For the secrets we don’t keep
Anchors away
I promised I’d stay
Against my every instinct
I’m in the black till the day sinks
I won’t go down, down
To that dirty part of town, town
I just want to stay clean, clean
You don’t know what I need, need
You don’t want to know
Double six
Double six, double six
The jig is up the fight was fixed
I’m on my way, I’m in the sticks
I won’t go down, down
To that dirty part of town, town
I just want to stay clean, clean
You don’t know what I need, need
You don’t want to know
Trust me You can’t trust me You don’t want to trust me
'Cause you can’t trust me No, no Meet me by the river
I’m sorry, Mary Jane
I thought that things could be different
What else can I say?
But I recall watching you
Walk down the aisle
And I recall the way the flower girls
Made your mother smile
We used to smile
