Down by the River Video (MV)

City life was getting us down so we spent a weekend out of town
Pitched a tent on a patch of ground
Down by the river

Lit a fire, drank some wine
You put your jeans on top of mine
Said, come in, the water's fine
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
Said come in, the waters fine
Down by the river

Didn't feel too good all night so we took a walk in the morning light
Came across the strangest sight
Down by the river

Silver fish lay on its side it was washed up by the early tide
I wonder how it died
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
Silver fish lay on its side
Down by the river

Doctor put us us both to bed
Dosed us up and he shook his head only foolish people go, he said
Down by the river

Why do the willows weep, said he
'Cause they're dying gradually from the waste from the factories
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
Why do the willows weep, said he
Down by the rover

In time the river banks will die and the reeds will wilt and the ducks won't fly
There'll be a tear in the crocodiles eye
Down by the river

The nights will soon be black and dead
Where the crocodile raised his head
There'll be a thick white scum instead
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
There'll be a thick white scum instead
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
The banks will soon be black and dead
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
The banks will soon be black and dead
Down by the river

Down by the river
Down by the river
The banks will soon be black and dead
Down by the river
