Walking by the River
Rendezvous by the Riverside: A Melodic Encounter Under the Moonlight
Lyrics
There's dew upon the ground
There is dew on the ground.
And not a soul in sight;
No one is around.
I'm walkin' by the river
The singer is walking alongside a river.
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight!
The purpose of the walk is to meet someone later in the evening.
I hear a distant sound,
A distant sound is audible to the singer.
I see a far-off light;
A far-off light is visible in the distance.
I'm walkin' by the river
The singer continues walking by the river.
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight!
Reiteration of the intention to meet someone that night.
The murmuring waters say
The flowing water suggests there's no time to waste.
There's no time to delay,
An urgency is conveyed, urging the listener to hurry.
So hurry on your way, my friend!
A friendly encouragement to move quickly.
If you don't get there soon,
Warning about potential consequences if delayed.
There may not be a moon
The moon might not be present if one delays.
To guide you to that happy end!
The moon is portrayed as a guide to a happy ending.
My heart is riding high,
The singer's emotions are elevated.
My blues have taken flight,
The singer's blues or sorrows have lifted.
I'm walkin' by the river
Reiteration of walking by the river for a rendezvous.
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight!
Reaffirmation of meeting someone later.
My heart is riding high,
Repeat of the elevated emotional state of the singer.
My blues have taken flight,
Repeat of the absence of blues or sorrows.
I'm walkin' by the river
Repetition of walking by the river for a meeting.
'Cause I'm meeting someone there tonight!
Reiteration of the anticipation of meeting someone that night.
