Lyrics
Down by the river
Setting of the scene by the river
The water's swirling by
Describing the flowing water
On stepping stones we crossed and acid love took over my mind
Reference to crossing the river on stepping stones, symbolizing a transformative experience of "acid love" taking control of the mind
Willow trees hang over
Depiction of willow trees hanging over the river
It took me by surprise
Surprise at the unexpected nature of the experience
And while these memories faded baby there's one acid love that's mine
Despite memories fading, there is one enduring and personal experience of "acid love"
There's one acid love
Repetition emphasizing the singular and personal nature of the mentioned "acid love"
There's one acid love
-There's one acid love
-There's one acid love that's mine
-Down by the river
Reiteration of the setting by the river
The water's swirling by
Reiteration of the flowing water
On stepping stones we crossed and acid love took over my mind
Reiteration of the transformative experience on stepping stones with "acid love" dominating the mind
Willow trees hang over
Reiteration of willow trees hanging over
It took me by surprise
Reiteration of the surprise element in the experience
And while these memories faded baby there's one acid love that's mine
Despite fading memories, there remains a distinct and personal connection to one specific instance of "acid love"
There's one acid love
Repetition underscoring the uniqueness of the individual's "acid love"
There's one acid love
-There's one acid love
-There's one acid love that's mine
