Riding in the early evening I'd say I know of a certain tree I always asked if you wanted to go You'd just sit there silently Now you say come on let's go You know where you want to be As I watch you tan in the waters so brown Desire gets the best of modesty Walk me down the side of the water Lay your weary head on me Lay your clothes up on the table Wrap your worries round the red cedar tree
It's a special night Looks like a special night There'll be some changes made on the water tonight Go in a boy and come out a man
Looking out at the water You say 'What do you think?' Indecision in my face and arms You say you either swim or you sink Sliding off sliding on down Wetness in the evening mist No ride in the countryside Ever compared to this Walk me down the side of the water Lay your weary head on me Lay your clothes up on the table Wrap your worries round the red cedar tree
It's a special night Looks like a special night There'll be some changes made on the water tonight Go in a boy and come out a man
