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
Out past the stores with twitching 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 bark and talked
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 row the same boat
And if that boat should sink
We got each other to hold onto
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
