paroles de chanson The Riverwitch - The 5th Dimension

We used to go walking
Out in the moonlight
Down by the river
In love's own sweet town
Lanterns still hang
On the shoreline
But that old love of mine
She's nowhere around

I ain't asking no one
For promises of heaven
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around

The sound of the whistle
Will echo forever
It ripples like water
Around my poor head
She sings like the sirens
The river man's daughter
She's gone from her lover
In his rocky bed

I said, I ain't asking no one
For promises of heaven
I'm gonna sit by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around

Love falls as leaves do
Making a blanket
Under the branches
Where new love will grow
The witch of the river
Can cast a spell on you
Don't make her the only love
That you'll ever know

Oh, Lord
I ain't asking no one
For promises of heaven
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around

The river witch
I'm gonna sit right down
And I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
