Riverside

I went there on the 29th to watch the yuppies sail
I met a girl with pretty eyes and a braided pony tail
She said her name was Annabelle, I told her mine was John
We told each other fairytales until the break of dawn

I think the basin's beautiful, I love the waters wide
But often I forget until I reach the riverside

We parted as the sun arose, she kissed me on the cheek
And said if I was so disposed to meet her there next week
The seven days went crawling by, the fifth of August came
In love by then with all my might, I hoped she'd feel the same

I think the basin's beautiful, I love the waters wide
But never knew how much until I reached the riverside

I found the place where first we met those seven days ago
For seven August hours sat and waited there alone
Been seven years since then and still I dream about her eyes
But I never found my Annabelle along the riverside

I thought the basin beautiful, I loved the waters wide
Until I lost my Annabelle along the riverside

I thought the basin beautiful, I loved the waters wide
Until I lost my Annabelle along the riverside
