Down By The River 歌詞

Down By The River - Benjamin Britten

City life was gettin' us down

So we spent the weekend out of town

 

Pitched the tent on the patch of ground

 

Down by the river

 

Lit a fire and drank some wine

 

You put your jeans on the top of mine

Said come in the water's fine

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Said come in the water's fine

 

Down by the river

 

Didn't feel too good all night

So we took a walk in the morning light

 

Came across the strangest sight

 

Down by the river

 

Silver fish lay on its side

It was washed up by the early tide

 

I wonder how it died

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Silver fish lay on its side

 

Down by the river

 

Doctor put us both to bed

 

He dosed us up and he shook his head

 

Only foolish people go he said

 

Down by the river

 

Why do willows weep said he

Because they're dying gradually

 

From the waste from the factories

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Why do willows weep said he

Down by the river

 

In time the river banks will die

 

The reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly

There'll be a tear in the otter's eye

Down by the river

 

The banks will soon be black and dead

 

And where the otter raised his head

 

Will be a clean white stone instead

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

The banks will soon be black and dead

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

Down by the river

 

The banks will soon be black and dead

 

 

Down by the river
