Meet Me By the River - Matthew Ryan

Just go to sleep

Talk is cheap

The price is steep

For the secrets we don’t keep

Anchors away

I promised I’d stay

Against my every instinct

I’m in the black till the day sinks

I won’t go down, down

To that dirty part of town, town

I just want to stay clean, clean

You don’t know what I need, need

You don’t want to know

Double six

Double six, double six

The jig is up the fight was fixed

I’m on my way, I’m in the sticks

I won’t go down, down

To that dirty part of town, town

I just want to stay clean, clean

You don’t know what I need, need

You don’t want to know

Trust me You can’t trust me You don’t want to trust me

'Cause you can’t trust me No, no Meet me by the river

I’m sorry, Mary Jane

I thought that things could be different

What else can I say?

But I recall watching you

Walk down the aisle

And I recall the way the flower girls

Made your mother smile

We used to smile
