Last time we made it thru, it made me feel so fine,
2 set u free and make u feel like u wanna fly,
Oh your sweet song is written, deep within my mind,
An unfinished symphony now you’ve left my love behind
But I’ll meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river, down by the river
I’ll meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river down by the river
Last time I saw your face, u wore a cardboard smile,
I’ve only been on this paperchase 4 a little while,
It feels like an eternity, I don’t mean Calvin Klein,
I don’t feel so good no more, I don’t feel so fine
But I’ll meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river, down by the river
I’ll meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river down by the river
SOLO
I know that love ain’t nothin’ without a little pain,
Well I’ve had my bellyful in the pourin’ rain, aaoo
I struggled thru winterwinds & I struggled thru the hail,
I’m pushin’ on thru everything, and I ain’t gonna fail
When I meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river, down by the river
I’ll meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river down by the river
down by the river down by the river . . . .
I’ll meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river, down by the river
I’ll meet u there, I’m gonna meet you there
somewhere, somewhere down the river down by the river
Round and around now we dance by the light of the moon,
Ev’rything swaying a world playing way out of tune,
Bathing in beauty b 4 us, never quite reaching the chorus . . .
Gracefully pacing each movement and never too soon,
Ev’ryone drunkenly sways in this picture so blue,
Some without fear could not care less, others with hearts feel so restless . . .
Woooh, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da,
Woooh, da da da da da da, mmm
OOOOH . . . yeyayeayayeayayeayaa . . . AAAAAH
There’s so much more to explore beyond me beyond you,
Closer and closer, we move to the moment of truth,
Do ray me so fundamental, Déjà vu so transcendental
Woooh, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da,
Woooh, da da da da da da, mmmmm yeah
OOOOH . . . heyayeayayeayayeayaa . . . AAAAAH
This journey is taking us further than we could have known,
Time now for leaping and reaping seeds we have sown,
Tasting the wonders of strange - ne -
sliding to where the key changes . . .
NOOOOW . . . heyaeaeaeyowow . . . NOOOOW . . .
There’s so much more to explore beyond me beyond you,
Closer and closer, so close to the moment of truth,
Tasting the wonders of strange - ne -
sliding to where the key changes . . .
