There we were, my lover and I
Walking by the side of Our River,
The sun was shining,
The water was green and clear,
A beautiful afternoon.
As we approached the ferry
The ferry man was sitting on the wall,
Sitting listening to music.
He was strumming away so happily,
So happily playing his air guitar,
We walked on with a smile.
As we came back he was doing his job
And pulling the ferry across Our River.
We sat and watched as the passenger came,
Came across in the ferry.
We sat there for a while
Talking and to each other,
Looking and listening to Nature’s glory.
Then we started to walk back again
And there was the ferryman
Sitting on the wall once more,
Listening to music.
His air guitar was down by his side
As now he was playing another instrument,
He was now sitting in front of his air piano
Playing all the notes to the tune,
The tune to which he was listening.
Yet another smile crossed our faces,
Another beautiful time with each other,
With smiles all about us.
