Way Down by Waterside [#2]

I once had a Springtime lover

with eyes deep as the river

and a heart wide as the tide.

'n the salt air gave a shiver

way down by waterside.

chorus: we went walking out together

to view the moving tide

and the moonlight shook n shimmered

way down by waterside.

and a love i had in summer

she was wild as any rover

and she took me for a ride.

a few hours we spent together

way down by waterside.

[chorus]

now this love i've held through autumn

she has caught me when i've fallen

and she's stayed right by my side

all dreams are not forgotten

way down by waterside.

[chorus]

so the spring time is returning

and i hear the gold finch warbling

and he flutters as he flies.

these lives that we've been living

will be gone with the tide.

[chorus]
