Down By The Green River

The sun had set. The almost-full moon was rising in the sky. We drove downtown to see John Prine. To listen to him play. To listen to him sing. To sometimes sing quietly along.

she is my everything
don't let your baby down
watchin' the sun go down
go to the country and build you a home
standing by peaceful waters
lookin' for answers to questions I already know
I ain't hurtin' nobody
dreams like lightning, thunder: desire
go down where the people say "y'all"
the glory of true love is a wild and precious thing
don't let your baby down

down by the green river where paradise lay
