Hush now creature, dry your eyes
I know a place where a body can hide
Oh, I know a place where a body can hide

Last time I saw you, our table was bare
If you hurry and join me, I will lead you there
Oh, sink beneath the water, sink in to the deep
In a pond just off the road that feeds this muddy creek
Oh, in a pond just off the road that feeds this muddy creek

Though my days are over
You know where I'll be
Swim that lost river to me

Though my days are done
The waters will always run
Swim that lost river to me

Though I'm gone, don't be afraid
We'll meet again on the river someday
The croak of the frogs will lead you true
Wear a skirt of greenstone, so I know it's you
Wear a skirt of greenstone to drag you to the blue

Though my days are over
You know where I'll be
Swim that lost river to me

Though my days are done
The waters will always run
Find that la-la-lost river, find me

Lay your head on the river bed
Drink from the river and find your way to me
Oh, rest your head on the river bed
Drink from the river and find your way to me

Oh, lay your head on the river bed
Drink from the river and find your way to me
Oh, rest your head on the river bed
Drink from the river and find your way to me

Oh, drink from the river and find your way to me
Oh, drink from the river and find your way to me
Oh, drink from the river
