  • Meet me in the evening, where the river is low
    Meet me on the waters of the Ohio
    No lines, no lines, the river is a river, not a line
    My blood is the water and it's darker and deeper than time

    If the hounds are howling, then you cannot hide
    My friend, I will meet you on the other side
    No lines, no lines, the river is a river, not a line
    My love is the water and it's stronger and deeper than time

    Meet me 'neath the moon, under the singing tree
    If you are the first, stay there and wait for me
    If no one comes by morning and the sun is a-rising red
    If no one comes by morning, please forgive me, my friend

  • Adrian W. from San Tan Valley, AzThere is beauty in the sadness with this song. It’s haunting yet beautiful in the way these two lovers present it vocally. It’s lyrics as written, are the apex of masterful songwriting as only two prolific and lived writers could pen. The musicians are stripped down in performance yet effectively mood-inspiring and evocative as if one was on a journey. Their seeming simplicity is actually more complex to the trained ear. I love the total performance of art and artists in this video. Very well done.
