And when I die
Take my body to the river side
Let the water wash me clean
Let me go join the stream and

(Meet me on the riverbed) I'll take my time
(Meet me on the riverbed) you'll take your time
(Meet me on the riverbed) I'll take my time
(Meet me on the riverbed) she'll take us

Down to the bottom where the water's clean
I mean so crystal clear it seems
That you and I could see for miles
Stay for years
Stay awhile
Down on the bottom where the water's pure
It's where I'll rest
It's where I'll drink my fill until my body's dead
And I can make my home on the riverbed

I met him on the riverbed
We shed the sheets of linen

Meet me down by the riverbed
We'll shed layers
Lovely lavender feathers
All consumed by the fire
As the sun shines brighter
As the river runs faster
As the road runs after

Meet me on the riverbed
Beyond the riverbed
We shed some layers

I met him on the riverbed
We shed some layers

Beyond the riverbed
Be on the riverbed
