You’re sweet and miss me
Running up the alley dark
Scared of something don’t know what
Dark inside your mind and heart

Tumble down and kiss me
Shuffle through your day is done
Worried ‘bout the dropping off
Narrow missed the frozen part

River green with eyes that see
Ocean blue, a little like you

Walk a block and hit me
With a dose a laughing art
Don’t think twice as hard me
Double down and get your queen

Lift your glass and cheer me
Up above the world so high
Bless the fiddler keepin’ time
Get us through with winter wine

River green with eyes that see
Ocean blue, a little like you

Verse break

Lay your head and sing
Counting ways a bell does ring
Off to church or buy the round
Dream of being here and now

River green with eyes that see
Ocean blue, a little like you
River green gonna get through
Darling you oo oo
Ocean blue oo oo
Gonna get through
