[Verse 1]
When you were a young man, you stumbled and you fell
You ran fast as hell for the valley
When I caught up with you, brother, I was running too
Together we headed towards the sea
You found a friend in me
[Verse 2]
As time went on we drifted apart a little bit
I didn’t think about it all that much
You had to go your own way and me, I followed mine
We'd wander off but wind up back in touch
[Chorus]
Meet me at the river
Watch the sun go down
Sunlight on the water
Clover on the ground
[Verse 3]
Next to you there's nobody else I'd rather see
Next to me
I saw California sink a thousand silver moons
What'd you see?
You saw a friend in me
[Bridge]
You said, "When I'm gone, meet me at the river
Running wild, running free
Be strong, when sun shines on the water
I'll be the flower blooming there at your feet"
[Chorus]
Meet me at the river
Watch the sun go down
Sunlight on the water
Clover on the ground
Meet me at the river
Watch the sun go down
Sunlight on the water
Friends in the ground
