Down by the River-Moi Caprice

moi Caprice Down by the river where the water ends Through the garden and over that broken fence That tore your teenage dress apart Ten years later the same goes for your heart You stood there in a patch of falling sun Through the dense tree crowns perhaps it was the only one A soft hello where we used to meet We walked and talked as the leaves crackled from our feet By the grill in your hometown Through the fields leading westbound To the church where your parents met A car passed by as you kissed me You spoke of how you would miss me Somehow without a trace of regret You said "someday we'll look back on this and smile" I know I know I know But it's going to be a while But assuming there's no hell I've got a bad feeling things will work out well
