The 5th Dimension - The Riverwitch lyrics
[The 5th Dimension - The Riverwitch lyrics]
We used to go walking out in the moonlight
Down by the river in love's own sweet town
Lanterns still hang on the shoreline
But that old love of mine
She's nowhere around
I ain't asking no one for promises of heaven
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
The sound of the whistle will echo forever
It ripples like water around my poor head
She sings like the sirens
The river man's daughter
She's gone from her lover in his rocky bed
I said, I ain't asking no one
For promises of heaven
I'm gonna sit by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
Love falls as leaves do making a blanket
Under the branches where new love will grow
The witch of the river
Can cast a spell on you
Don't make her the only love
That you'll ever know
Oh, Lord i ain't asking no one
For promises of heaven
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
The river witch i'm gonna sit right down
And I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
Down by the river in love's own sweet town
Lanterns still hang on the shoreline
But that old love of mine
She's nowhere around
I ain't asking no one for promises of heaven
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
The sound of the whistle will echo forever
It ripples like water around my poor head
She sings like the sirens
The river man's daughter
She's gone from her lover in his rocky bed
I said, I ain't asking no one
For promises of heaven
I'm gonna sit by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
Love falls as leaves do making a blanket
Under the branches where new love will grow
The witch of the river
Can cast a spell on you
Don't make her the only love
That you'll ever know
Oh, Lord i ain't asking no one
For promises of heaven
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
The river witch i'm gonna sit right down
And I'm gonna wait by the river
'Til my lover comes around
