I was waiting by the river
I was fading even quicker
Than all the moonlight
Around my tail-lights

I was sleeping by the river
I was dreaming even bigger
But even in my dreams
You wouldn’t come by me

(Chorus)
And if you won’t walk with me then I can’t cry for you darling
And if you won’t talk to me then I can’t fight for you darling
And I can’t believe I’ve waited so long
I’m a fool for you, this I know

I was painting you a picture
Watercolors, by the river
Greens and yellows, blues
You could be there too

I won’t be shut out
I won’t let you down
