Meet me by the river By the place where we first went for dinner Underneath the pillar When I bought you flowers in the rain Feed me by the liver For all my woes have left me thinner I am a sinner And I know my days have aged Still, teach me a beginner I might not be the best listener But meet me by the river When I bought you flowers in the rain For all the nights that linger And for all the nights I can't remember I can't hold my liquor And there have been been some wines that left me bitter But of all my gold and silver There is none but you who make me richer So meet me by the river I bought you flowers in the rain In the rain
