Moonlight on the river. Let’s take a walk down to the water
I just want a chance with a working man’s daughterTake me by the hand, lead me to the new land
I know that’s where you’re going, I want to go with youFor so long now, I been stuck here inside
I want to teach my eyes to see, beyond these blindsSo, touch my cheek and open my eyes
Give me the strength to love and the strength to cryThings ain’t like they used to be, they ain’t what they seem
Without you, life’s so lonely, but with you it’s a dreamSometimes somethings, they won’t turn us loose
If we leave this illusion behind us, we can find the truthWe gotta be together, we just gotta be
We gotta find ourselves a way back home, a way to be free
Oh, but I love you, now more than ever
I can’t say that I’ll answer your prayers, but I can say that I’ll always be there, when you need meMoonlight on the river. Let’s take a walk down to the water
I just want a chance with a working man’s daughter.”
