lyrics
If you're down at the riverside, and you see a swan alone,
you see a boy who's lost his partner,
you see a girl who's far from home
To get where we need to in life, sometimes we must be braver
So girl, be careful with this boy,
his heart has no room for hurt, you've got to bring him joy
And boy, be careful with this girl,
she looks to you for hope, you've got to change her world
I was down at the riverside, I did not know what I'd find
I saw swans, there were two together,
their bodies were entwined
Sometimes the best things in life come to those who've waited
So girl, be careful with this boy,
his heart has no room for hurt, you've got to bring him joy
And boy, be careful with this girl,
she looks to you for hope, you've got to change her world
This surreal awakening has driven me to tears,
it's like falling in love at first sight, with someone you've known for years
Girl, be careful with this boy,
his heart has no room for hurt, you've got to bring him joy
Oh, and boy, be careful with this girl,
she looks to you for hope, you've got to change her world
