Way Down by Waterside

i once had a Springtime lover

with eyes wide as the river

and a heart full as the tide

in salt air she gave a shiver

way dow by waterside.

chorus: we went walkin out together

to view the movin tide

and the moonlight shook n shimmered

way down by waterside.

now 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]

this love i've held through Autumn

she has caught me when i've fallen

and she's stayed right by my side

some dreams we've had together

way down by waterside.

[chorus]

so the springtime is returning

and i hear the gold finch warbling.

all these lives that we've been living

will be gone with the tide

way down by waterside.

[chorus]
