A Night On The River

A Night On The River Words & Music by Chris de Burgh 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 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 (Just) me and my beating heart singing in the dark.  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  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; Oh---------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 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...
