Chris De Burgh - A Night On The River lyrics

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake

I think I've gone and made my big mistake

I took her swimming, we had a fight

Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight

And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river

Under the moon and the stars

Looks like I'm heading for a night on the river

Me and my beating heart, singing in the dark

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake

If she was here I wouldn't hesitate

To tell her how, the way things are

With a long conversation in the back of a car

And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river

Under the moon and the stars

Could be I'm heading for a night on the river

Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark

I think she owes me an explanation

She's got the whip hand in this situation

If I try to tell her just the way I feel

It could start the whole thing all over again

Oh, I think I'm heading for a night on the river

Under the moon and the stars

Could be I'm heading for a night on the river

But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark

Oh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm

Under the moon and the stars

Could be we're heading for a mm-mm

Just you and me and our beating hearts

We're singing in the dark
