On the banks of the Thames
Narrow boats at low tide
Nestled in side by side
High and dry again
It won't be long
Sunny or cloudy skies
River will always rise
Hearts always mend
I sit by this river
This beautiful river
This murmuring river
That whispers and sighs
Will you lie with me love
Just for this moment
Would you lie down beside me
With the river and I
Tomorrow will come
Sure as the sun rises
As the strike of the heron
As evening birds sing
All bound for somewhere
There's no way of knowing
Which way the winds blowing
Or what tomorrow will bring
I'll soon be gone
Back to what's left behind
Off to the west
And farther away
Soon you'll be gone
Over the dateline
Off to another time
And the turn of the day
On the banks of the Thames
Narrow boats at low tide
Nestled in side by side
High and dry again
It won't be long
Sunny or cloudy skies
River will always rise
Hearts always mend
