Remember when we used to
Sit down by the water
Watchin’ the world go by
Mindin’ all the business
What everyone was doin’
On the other side
{There used to be a bridge here
Reachin’ shore to shore
Rain on my rooftop
Sun on my door}
Used to be a river
But there ain’t no river no more
Remember when we used to
Sit down by the water
{Take turns tradin’ tunes}
Smokin’-and-a-schemin’
Jokin’-and-a-dreamin’
From the sandy dunes
{There used to be a bridge here
Reachin’ shore to shore
Used to be a lover
Knockin’ at the door
Used to be a river
But there ain’t no river no more}
Who needs a hand
When you’re not there to take it
Who needs a heart
When you’re not there to break it
Who needs wings
When there ain’t no will to fly
Who needs a bridge
When the water’s all run dry
Remember when we used to
Sit down by the water
Makin’ promises we couldn’t keep
Never thought to question
Never stopped to wonder
If you’d ever leave
{Used to be a bridge here
Reachin’ shore to shore
Used to be a lover
Knockin’ at the door
Used to be a river
But there ain’t no river no more}
Used to be a river
But there ain’t no river no more
