down on deep river

old man moon across the swampy river rise, cast a quiet reflection in your eyes, meet me beside the still waters, and let me love you down on the river, hear the crickets singing for a mile, and the sound of the bullfrog when he smiles, meet me beside the still waters, and let me love you down on the river, it's like heaven when i love you, i'm so far away, and you know all my favorite songs to sing, know the words to say, so come, follow me down the quiet side, taste the old river deep and wide, and lead me beside the still waters, and let me love you down on the river, and the night bird calling, and i'm falling more in love each day, want you sit by my side, and hold to my hand and love me all the way, and we'll leave all the highways far behind, and just take a little blanket with the wine, and lead me beside the still waters, and let me love you down on the river, and lead me beside the still waters, and let me love you down on the river
