All Along the Riverside Lyrics by Tall Travis

Witness This!

2023

Wend away on willow wing
Sing the songs you'd sing to me
Those mornings on the riverside
All your plaintive melodies
To hold me in your arms
To never let me go
I know you would have if you could have
But it ended in the snow, oh
All along the riverside
Skipping as if we were bumblebees
And we were dancing like the aspens in the breeze
And you would hum and say you'd never felt
The way you felt for me
And you would kiss me
And thе last bit of my mind would be set free
Oh we wеre star crossed, we were lovers
We were always meant to be
But meant to be all torn apart
By things that nobody can see
And we would still be there together, would have sealed it with a kiss
But I know we'll be young forever, with not a moment missed
I am still here waiting for you, buried in the ground
While you are walking on the lavender, but still you wear a crown
Because you miss me like the summer, with all it's fragrant blooms
And I am just over the other side, you know I miss you too
Wander on the riverside
Carrying a basket in our hands
All filled with jellies
Forks and knives and bread and ham
And you had one more knife beneath your coat
And not within the basket
It was a lengthy piece of steel all hidden
Underneath your jacket
That you always looked so handsome in
Though you never thought to spare a grin
For anyone or anything
As if that smile would let them win
That smile I tried so hard to coax
Out from your cruel facade
I tried, you tried, we tried, I know we tried
But we couldn't beat the odds
You know that I am still here waiting for you
Buried in the ground
The crown of roses that you placed upon my head
Before you laid me down
Chrysanthemums and lilies, all in a neat bouquet
You know I miss you like the summer, just like a summer's day
I am still here waiting for you, buried in the ground
I know they're looking very hard for me, but if I don't want to be found
I want to lay with you forever, and never let you go
I know that I'm your dearest treasure, more than anything I know
And yes I know that there were others, but I know I was your best
And I know there will still be more, but I am nothing like the rest
Though we were destined to be star crossed, doomed to not be wed
It must be part of all the process for me to end up dead
