River Girls

I caught you down by the river again
 Down where the river girls lie
 It's two quiet tearless years it's been
 And you still can't say goodbye
 You'd have done better to call a friend
 You'd have done better to cry
 This river's gonna run
 Till the sun in the sky
 Burns hot enough
 To boil it dry
 You keep on following
 What's running away
 Then you might as well yourself
 Just lie down with them
 Some river girls make their way
 To the sea
 Some settle into the bed
 I caught you down
 Trying to figure it out
 When you could have been
 Calling me instead
 Come home
 Leave it alone
 Lift your pretty face to sun
 This river's gonna run
 Till the sun in the sky
 Burns hot enough
 To boil it dry
 You keep on following
 What's running away
 Then you might as well yourself
 Just lie down with them
 Two quiet tearless years
 Too quiet
