I left you standing
Down by the riverside in June
I left you standing all alone
And when I came back to you
I didn't realize it was you
Oh, my dear, how you have grown!
I walked a straight line
Far away from the riverside
I walked until I felt alone
Down pass the beggars
I'll pass the store with twitch lights
But not to far to turn around
Walk on home, coming home
Let me guide you like a flashlight
In the darkness of a storm
And I treated you, like I needed you
To watch over
We swam the river
Down the stream, from town to town
We swam until we nearly drowned
We got out freezing
Miles and miles away from home
We got out cold, but not alone
Between the rocks and the stars
We got undressed and we laid our heads
On a piece of parking, we talk
Till the sun came up
Let me guide you like a flashlight
In the darkness of a storm
And I treated you, like I needed you
To watch over
I need a friend
You need me too
We're on the same boat
And if that boat just sinks, oh
We got each other to hold on to
So hold on
Let me guide you like a flashlight
In the darkness of a storm
And I treated you, like I needed you
To watch over
To watch over
