Lyrics Chris de Burgh

Chris de Burgh

A night on the river

1. 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,

R: 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.

2. 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,

R: 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

3. 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,

R: Ooh, 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,

R: Ooh, 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...
