(Jagger/Richards)

There's something I should tell you

Why don't you sit there in that chair
You're looking good today
I love the way your comb's tucked in your hair


My cards are on the table
but the drinks have all run out

There's been some other lads in this room with me
we're really quite a crowd
It's hard to break it gently

but I really thought it through
I don't think there's much future left
for me and you me and you


I've been following the river
til it joins hands with the sea.

I've been thinking of you so bad
Cause you always saw the best in me


You'll probably forget me
and I'll fade back in the bar
Just a face disappearing without trace

I'll be lost I'll be lost

One day I'll hear some laughter in a out-of-town cafe

I'll be reaching for your number
I'll be calling out your name
calling out your name


I've been following that river
gonna join hands with the sea

I've been thinking of ya all the time
Cause you always brought the best in me
I'll be following the river - oh my!

Till it spills out in the sea

When I first think about ya oh dear

Cause you always brought the best in me
(always brought the best in me)
I'll be following the river (yeah!)

Gonna join hands with the sea

Ah if I can't have ya

I'll be dreaming all about ya
Cause you always brought the best in me
I'll be following the river

gonna join hands with the sea

I'll be thinking about ya

cause you always brought the best in me
