[Verse 1]
There's something I should tell you
Why don't you sit there in that chair
You're looking good today
I love the way your comb's tucked in your hair

My cards are on the table
But the drinks have all run out
There's been some other lads in this room with me
We're really quite a crowd

It's hard to break it gently
But I really thought it through
I don't think there's much future left
For me and you, me and you

[Chorus]
I've been following the river
Till it joins hands with the sea
I've been thinking of you so bad
'Cause you always saw the best in me (Always saw the best in me)

[Verse 2]
You'll probably forget me
And I'll fade back in the fall
Just a face disappearing without trace
I'll be lost, I'll be lost
One day I'll hear some laughter
In an out-of-town café
I'll be reaching for your number
I'll be calling out your name, calling out your name

[Chorus]
I've been following the river
Till it joins hands with the sea
I've been thinking of you all the time
'Cause you always saw the best in me

(I'll be following the river) Oh my
Till it spills out in the sea
When I first think about you, oh dear
'Cause you always saw the best in me (Always saw the best in me)

[Chorus]
I'll be following the river (Yeah)
Till it join hands with the sea
Ah, if I can't have you, I'll be dreaming all about you
Ah 'cause you always saw the best in me
I'll be following the river, till it join hands with the sea
I'll be thinking about you 'cause you always saw the best in me
