Lyrics

Let's go down to the river
it's warm won't feel a shiver
I can hear the song it plays in my head

we'll lie down by the river
the sun I can deliver
no place better for our blanket to be spread
doo doodoo doo dooooo

I know there's a tomorrow
but we're here today
so far from anything in our way

I'm so blown away (so I'm gonna say)
When we're here the skies will never be grey
Let's float away (yeah we're here to stay) it's so nice
see you in Paradise

we'll jump into the river
it's cold but we forgive her
wash away the city things that we dread

we'll sleep down by the river
The moon is just a sliver
Stars are painted just right over our heads
(doo doodoo doo dooooo)

I know there's a tomorrow
but we're here today
so far from anything in our way

I'm so blown away (so I'm gonna say)
When we're here the skies will never be grey
Let's float away (yeah we're here to stay) it's so nice
see you in Paradise

solo

we'll lie and watch the river
the water rolls and quivers
can't remember anything thing that I've said
(doo doodoo doo dooooo)

I know there's a tomorrow
but we're here today
so far from anything in our way

I'm so blown away (so I'm gonna say)
When we're here the skies will never be grey
Let's float away (yeah we're here to stay) it's so nice
see you in Paradise
