Come along to the riverside. Sit down now I just want to hear somebody else whine If you've got tomorrow, I've got a blade We can dig a hole into an old book Keep our secrets there I know of another place beneath some overgrown vine. I can cut them back

Forever in my heart Forever we will be And even when I'm gone You'll be here in me And now, while we're here alone And all is said and done Now I can let you know Because of all you've shown I've grown enough to tell you
