Story Behind The Song

Second love

Lyrics

Down By The Riverside


We went for a walk down by the river
She'd always said we would be forever
But when she told me we were through
It broke me in two

She said there was another
But when she told me it was my twin brother
I broke down and cried
Down by the riverside

Chorus

I went back to my room
Surrounded by heartache and gloom
I just couldn't see a way to survive
But when I went out on the street
Her twin sister I did meet
And all at once I felt alive

Verse

Now every day we walk down by the river
Passed them once, like looking in the mirror
We are so in love
But when push came to shove

He went and broke her heart
But we've never been apart
Every day is like a new beginning
We just can't stop winning

Instrumental

Chorus

Now when I go back to my room
Its always a sunny afternoon
Coz she's always there by my side
We walk every day by the river
We'll be together forever
My happiness I never want to hide

Now when I go back to my room
Its always a sunny afternoon
Coz she's always there by my side
We walk every day by the river
We'll be together forever
My happiness I never want to hide


Down by the riverside
