Down by the river we steal a moment You look at me through golden eyes Down by the river we shouldn't be here But let's just stay until sunrise You and I are one of a kind But a love like ours is so blind Well you and me will never be free Will the world around ever let us be? Down by the river, down by the river Oooooooooh Down by the river we're all alone here The Earth, moon and stars are always ours. Down by the river in the silver moonlight Our young hearts burn; never say goodbye. You and I are one of a kind But a love like ours is so blind You and me will never be free Will the world around ever let us be? Down by the river, down by the river Oooooooooh So we'll run away We will hide; we will pray Our forbidden love can't be torn apart And our lives together, they will start Till then it's down by the river, down by the river Will the world around ever let us be? Runaway down to the river, down to the river And our love, it won't ever be free. Down by the river we steal a moment You look at me, through golden eyes
