Down by the water
with a big dam a -standin'
I met my darlin' last night
While the pale moon was sinkin'
We lay there drinkin' and listenin'
to our hearts
Down by the water
with steel turbines humming,
I held my baby last night.
When the big sluice was open,
the river went running
and turned on the lights.
Down by the water, that's all I knew.
Down by the water, quick as the dew.
down by the water
Cool was the air
as it blew through his hair
and he told me to listen once more
I heard the wind making waves on the
water that reached for the shore
So many reasons
Like drops from a rain cloud
We could have been talking all night
Instead he just left me
And I watched the river
run out of sight
Down by the water
I thought I knew
Down by the water
Quick as the dew
Down by the water
Down by the water,
where the big dam is standing
I met my darling last night
While the pale moon's sinking
I lay there drinking and listening
To my heart
Down by the water, we fell apart
Down by the water, right from the start
Down by the water, quick as they do
Down by the water
Down by the water
Down by the water
Yeah, find my way
Thank
