E            C         D
it is such a beautiful night
    C#m   E  A  Hm
the river is so calm
E           C         D
resting now under the searchlight

G                  G/F#            D
lurking still they haven't found a place
Am      G        D
looking for it's face
G                 G/F#          D
all this time the river flowing slow
Am            G  F               D
soon there is no place to go but down

thinking of a beautiful boy
eyes reflecting in the moonlight
the river is so calm
staying with him throught the night

lurking still they haven't found a place
looking for it's face
all this time the river flowing slow
soon there is no place to go but down

it could tell a long time ago
something in his face let me know
many men escaped their mud
watch them give up, life still goes on
lurking still they haven't found a place
staring at it's grace
all this time the river flowing slow
soon there is no place to go but down
