Waitin' on a wanin' moon
Climbin' up the tall trees
I hope nobody saw me
Sneakin' in
Shadows from the ladder rungs
Reachin' âcross the concrete
Like so many memories
Wearin' thin
I don't give up
I've never known why
I'll be sailing down the river till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
I bet I never will forget
Her mirror and her long dress
Hair right down to her breast
Black as coal
Or the lady on the radio
Talkin' all the way home
Now I don't feel so all alone
Down this road
I don't give up
I've never known why
I'll be sailing down the river till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
Oh street lights pass and shadows cast
Down across your heart
I never knew just what to do
But push on through the dark
I don't give up
I've never known why
I'll be sailing down the river till the river runs dry
Till the river runs dry
