By the bend of the river Where rushes are growing And waters are flowing Far down to the sea On a soft, balmy June night In the shimmering moonlight I know that my own true love is waiting for me In the cool of the evening When the shadows are falling I can hear my love calling so softly to me To the scent of the heather In fair summer weather We'll drift down together My true love and me ♪ By the bend of the river Where rushes are growing And waters are flowing Far down to the sea On a soft, balmy June night In the shimmering moonlight I know that my own true love is waiting for me In the cool of the evening When the shadows are falling I can hear my love calling so softly to me Through the scent of the heather In fair summer weather We'll drift down together Far down to the sea In the shimmering moonlight In the cool of the evening I know that my own true love is waiting for me
