[Verse 1]
A hot cup of wine on a chilly afternoon
I look like a sailor and I drink like one too
We carried a torch into the night
Through the cobblestone alleys with wandering hands and wandering eyes
True poetry hides at the bottom of a frosted glass
We hide in the shadows to preserve our new romance
The mercury keeps rising as our hearts keep racing
And we turn away, into the background we face
[Chorus 1]
And together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Waltzing Matilda with you; what to do?
[Verse 2]
It's 3am and it's time to retire
The last of the last calls have been stacked on the pyre
The Polaroid flashes; remember our faces
So when our temples turn grey, we'll remember that day
[Chorus 1]
And together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Waltzing Matilda with you; what to do?
[Verse 3]
A hot cup of wine on a chilly afternoon
You smoke like a chimney but you still look 22
I guess you still are and I guess we still might
Go skipping through the alleys to relive that perfect night
[Chorus 2]
And together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Waltzing Matilda with you
[Chorus 1]
And together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Together, we go down to the river
Waltzing Matilda with you; what to do?
