By The Waterlefe Window

Lyrics

[Verse 1] At The River club at Waterlefe You set us by the glass A linen cloth, a candle flame And time that moves like brass The Manatee River layin' there Like silk across the night Your smile caught in the window pane And made the whole room bright [Pre-Chorus] And the boats drift slow Down below While my heart says, stay One more sip One more grin Don't let this feeling stray [Chorus] By the window, by the water The River club at Waterlefe By the window, by the water That's where you found me The Manatee River, sweet and still It knows the way I feel By the window, by the water You make the whole night real [Verse 2] The waiter set the silver down We watched the ripples dance A fork of moon on moving black A little ballroom chance You laughed at some small secret I nearly missed my line But every word you said that night Came back in perfect time [Pre-Chorus] And the room got warm Like a song Soft and low and slow I leaned in close You leaned too And let the whole world go [Chorus] By the window, by the water The River club at Waterlefe By the window, by the water That's where you found me The Manatee River, sweet and still It knows the way I feel By the window, by the water You make the whole night real [Bridge] Give me that table by the glass Give me that easy sway Let the river keep on shining While the rest just drifts away I don't need a grand parade Or some far-off fantasy When your hand is on the table edge And your eyes are close to me [Chorus] By the window, by the water The River club at Waterlefe By the window, by the water That's where you found me The Manatee River, sweet and still It knows the way I feel By the window, by the water You make the whole night real [Outro] By the window By the river Stay a little while
