There's dew upon the ground
And not a soul in sight
I'm walking by the river
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight.
I hear a distant sound
I see a far-off light
I'm walking by the river
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight
The murmuring waters say
There's no time to delay
So hurry on your way, my friend
If you don't get there soon
There may not be a moon
To guide you to that happy end
My heart is riding high
My blues have taken flight
I'm walking by the river
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight
My heart is riding high
My blues have taken flight
I'm walking by the river
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight
