The instrumentation on this song consists primarily of mellotron and piano.
It’s a song about, shock horror, sitting by the river side with a lover.
[Verse 1]
Just sitting down by the riverside
Spreading my arms to the open wide
Now I am free and the world's at my feet
I can close my eyes
[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, keep me warm, keep me satisfied
Please keep me calm, keep me pacified
Now I'm content and my life is complete
I can close my eyes
[Bridge]
Sitting by the riverside with you
[Verse 3]
I love sitting down by the riverside
Watching the water go flowing by
Oh, golly gee, it is heaven to be
Like a willow tree
[Outro]
Spend my time just drinking wine while looking at the view
