The River Club at Waterleaf

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The River Club at Waterleaf Dress me in that old delight Twenty-six years on the candle tray Still shining through the night A table for two by the window glass The Manatee River slow You wear that smile like a lucky charm And I let the whole room go [Pre-Chorus] Silverware, soft as silk Your hand finds mine, just so The bread comes warm, the world goes quiet And I already know [Chorus] The River Club at Waterleaf We came to say it right Bolognese for me, scallops for you And all our stars align tonight The River Club at Waterleaf (oh, what a lovely view) Twenty-six years, and I still lean in Like it’s our first rendezvous [Verse 2] The waiter glides with a practiced grin Like he’s known us all along He pours that golden, easy night And nothing here feels wrong Your scallops shine in a lemon glow My fork meets that red flame We laugh over bread and finishing As if it’s one sweet game [Pre-Chorus] A little toast, a little pause The water holds the moon And every little thing in this room Starts humming your tune [Chorus] The River Club at Waterleaf We came to say it right Bolognese for me, scallops for you And all our stars align tonight The River Club at Waterleaf (oh, what a lovely view) Twenty-six years, and I still lean in Like it’s our first rendezvous [Bridge] If time is a stubborn guest He can wait outside We’ve got this table, this river And the joy we never hide So play that slow, sweet ending Let the evening stay I found my favorite place with you And I’d choose it every day [Chorus] The River Club at Waterleaf We came to say it right Bolognese for me, scallops for you And all our stars align tonight The River Club at Waterleaf (oh, what a lovely view) Twenty-six years, and I still lean in Like it’s our first rendezvous
