Meet Me at the River

When you were a young man, you stumbled and you fell

You ran fast as hell for the valley

When I caught up with you, brother, I was running too

Together we headed towards the sea

You found a friend in me

As time went on we drifted apart a little bit

I didn’t think about it all that much

You had to go your own way and me, I followed mine

We'd wander off but wind up back in touch

Meet me at the river

Watch the sun go down

Sunlight on the water

Clover on the ground

Next to you there's nobody else I'd rather see

Next to me

I saw California sink a thousand silver moons

What'd you see?

You saw a friend in me

You said, "When I'm gone, meet me at the river

Running wild, running free

Be strong, when sun shines on the water

I'll be the flower blooming there at your feet"

Meet me at the river

Watch the sun go down

Sunlight on the water

Clover on the ground

Meet me at the river

Watch the sun go down

Sunlight on the water

Friends in the ground
