[Verse 1]
So deep in the water
Sleep, dark as the night
Somehow it seems it was all another dream
Soon dissolved in the light

[Verse 2]
Oh, we were by the waterline
Vague, the song of the night
Innocent to all the peasant gods with you
So we drink to be renewed

[Chorus]
On the long, deep river
Where the moorhens cry
As the first sun quivers in the open sky-yi-yi

[Verse 3]
Oh, she came down the river
Soon, all the leaves were still
The current was strong and the river was so long
So, we drink to be renewed

[Chorus]
In the long cool evening
When the peacocks shiver
And the boat starts down the silver river way
[Chorus]
I remember you saying
As her deep eyes opened
In the first light seeing her, "Here is someone new"
