Lyrics

On the riverdock at sunset
Beneath a crayon box of sky
Last moments being supervised
Cameras pinned us down like butterflies

We clipped flowers onto dresses
Coupled off against the chill
Cusp of honeysuckle summer evening
Every word we spoke full of meaning

On the riverdock at sunset
The ones who taught us how to stand
Reminiscing over rubber soled shoes
Wondering how we got to heels and hairdos

And constellations turn
Above the river that keeps flowing by
Time on Earth keeps slipping by
There’s a difference between keeping something safe
And helping it to grow

On the riverdock at sunset
Through the lens of passing years
Half between leaving and lingering
We try to learn how to love without worrying

And constellations turn
Above the river that keeps flowing by
Time on Earth keeps slipping by
There’s a difference between keeping something safe
And helping it to grow

On the riverdock at sunset
Along the worn and weathered boards
Nothing’s meant to stay, but still
Letting go is the hardest drill

And constellations turn
Above the river that keeps flowing by
Time on Earth keeps slipping by
There’s a difference between keeping something safe
And helping it to grow

Moments like the waves of the watershed
On the riverdock at sunset
