There's dew upon the ground And not a soul in sight I'm walkin' by the river 'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight I hear a distant sound I see a far-off light I'm walkin' by the rive 'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight The murmuring waters say There's no time to delay So hurry on your way, my friend If you don't get there soon There may not be a moon To guide you to that happy end My heart is riding high My blues have taken flight I'm walkin' by the river 'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight My heart is riding high My blues have taken flight I'm walkin' by the river 'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight
