RIVER RISING

Ralph McTell

Oh the river is rising
And I know that the moon is high
And it ain't surprising that with you, babe, so am I.
'Cuz, babe, you know I don't believe
That stars can make it right.
But you be the moon and I'll be river
And we can rise high tonight
Let's roll down to the sea
Let's roll down to the sea.

The world is turning
And the moon is spinning round
I feel like I'm flying
But I'm still here on the ground
Oh, babe, you don't have to believe
That stars can make it right
But you be the moon, and I'll be river
And we can rise high tonight.
Let's roll down to the sea
Let's get lost at sea.

River rising and moon is high.
River rising and moon is high
Ooh, ooh, ooh, like you and I.

Oh, the river is rising
And I know that the moon is high
And it ain't surprising that with you, babe, so am I.
Oh, babe, you don't have to believe that stars can make it right
But you be the moon and I'll be river
And we can rise high tonight
Let's roll down to the sea
Let's get lost at sea
You and me.
