And I was seventeen with a new world to discover
Love was swift and shallow and so easy to get over
Like a tiny mountain stream
It was cool, it was clean and I got my feet wet
But I still hadn't seen the river
I might have drifted on forever
But I found you instead
And I felt like a waterfall in over my head
It was warm, it was deep and it was something I could keep
And I won't forget the day
We were swept away by the river
Yeah, we've seen it overflow
We've seen it running low
And we almost hit bottom
But we never let go
It's always you and me
On our journey to the sea, the river
There's a full moon on the water
And another in the sky
And the stars shine down like diamonds
Sparkle like your eyes
And I can't help thinking
Holding you tonight
It's like the first time
We lay down beside the river
Yeah, we've seen it overflow
We've seen it running low
And we almost hit bottom
But we never let go
It's always you and me
On our journey to the sea, the river
It's always you and me
On our journey to the sea, the river
