Möwe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Our lives not ordinary no
But I know somewhere we can go
There's a little blue house out by
Lake Oklahoma
Our lives not ordinary no

Oh, we were young
The song we always sung

My mama said, "Hey, ho, c'mon lets go"
Down to the river
Hey, ho, c'mon lets go
Into the water
So let that river flow
And wash away our sorrows
Hey, ho c'mon lets go
Down to the river

Down by the river, yeah

Down by the river, yeah
Found what is crystal clear tonight
So let us dance until sunrise
So lift me up and then drop me in the water
You know I'm here right by your side

My mama said, "Hey, ho, c'mon lets go"
Down to the river
