Along By the Riverbank

Verse 1:
Down by the riverbank,
her light caught my eyes.
feet froze to the ground
As she wandered by.

fingers twirling a leaf
long hair in the breeze
a brief smile on her face
eyes focused on me.

Verse 2:
a few steps passed
she paused, turned around
held her hand out to mine
without making a sound

Looked up through the trees
at the shimmering light
transformed the unnoticed
to a magical site

Chorus:
Along by the riverbank, hand in hand
The world feels strange but it’s just as planned

Like Twisting old songs, playing them new
Chords in reverse turn fresh with you

Verse 3:
I tried to find the words
but they tangled and slipped
She smiled, raised her finger
rested on my lips

Said nothing at all
but I understood then
Some moments are spoken
without saying when

Chorus:
Along by the riverbank, hand in hand
The world feels strange but it’s just as planned

Like twisting old songs, playing them new
Chords in reverse turn fresh with you

[Instrumental break]

Bridge:
We reached towards the end
she pulled me in close
A few lingering seconds
that mattered the most

No promise, no question
just eyes meeting eyes
One kiss, then she turned
and walked out of my life

Pre-Outro:
I whispered goodbye
though I knew she was gone
Some songs are completed
before words come along

Chorus:
Along by the riverbank, hand in hand
The world feels strange but it’s just as planned
Like twisting old songs, playing them new
Chords in reverse turn fresh with you

[Final chorus]
Along by the riverbank, hand in hand
The world feels strange but it’s just as planned

Like twisting old songs, playing them new
Chords in reverse turn fresh with you

[Outro]
Like twisting old songs, playing them new
Chords in reverse turn fresh with you
