The Old River Road - 1934

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 24 Feb 2002

Alone in the twilight,
just drifting along,
I yearn for contentment and rest;
Away from the city,
the noise and the throng,
way back with the one I love best.

Spring will come and I'll return
to the one I love once more,
at the bend of The Old River Road,
Once again we'll roam together
as in the days of yore,
hand in hand down The Old River Road.
It was there that I found her,
with wild flow'rs around her,
she watch'd by the stream as it flow'd,
and I know we'll soon be telling
our lovetales there once more,
when we meet on The Old River Road.

Spring will come and I'll return
to the one I love once more,
at the bend of The Old River Road,
Once again we'll roam together
as in the days of yore,
hand in hand down The Old River Road.
It was there that I found her,
with wild flow'rs around her,
she watch'd by the stream as it flow'd,
and I know we'll soon be telling
our lovetales there once more,
when we meet on The Old River Road.

Much water I know,
has flow'd under the bridge,
since, sadly, we whisper'd "Goodbye".
A last look I gave
passing over the ridge,
"I'll come back"
my heart seem'd to cry.

Spring will come and I'll return
to the one I love once more,
at the bend of The Old River Road,
Once again we'll roam together
as in the days of yore,
hand in hand down The Old River Road.
It was there that I found her,
with wild flow'rs around her,
she watch'd by the stream as it flow'd,
and I know we'll soon be telling
our lovetales there once more,
when we meet on The Old River Road.

Spring will come and I'll return
to the one I love once more,
at the bend of The Old River Road,
Once again we'll roam together
as in the days of yore,
hand in hand down The Old River Road.
It was there that I found her,
with wild flow'rs around her,
she watch'd by the stream as it flow'd,
and I know we'll soon be telling
our lovetales there once more,
when we meet on The Old River Road.
