Surround me with your smile
Little child, little one
Stretch my arms out wide
'Til the shadows, they are gone
Push me back outside
Let me feel the sun
You are mine tonight
Little child, little one

I'll be your riverman
When all the stars have burned to blue
I'll be your riverman
All I need is you

Chinese symbol on your hip
Broken lip wants to kiss
Compensate me with your love
Stars above, don't resist
I don't even know my name when the flame comes undone
You're so pretty when you smile
Little child, little one

I'll be your riverman
When all the stars have burned to blue
I'll be your riverman
All I need is you
