Story behind the song
With your eyes shut and the sun on your face - you can't tell whether a shadow falling over you is from a cloud or a friend leaning over... Thanks to my daughter, Ruth, for the sun/cloud pose!
Lyrics
I still go down to the river Lie on our soft green bed But now when shadows fall over me I'm afraid to turn my head They may be only clouds Shielding the summer rays And not you leaning over me Tempting with your playful gaze Playful ways [ch] Afraid to open my eyes In case you disappear Although they say it's over that's still painful to hear Minutes stretch into hours and hours I've learned to fear 'Cause each time I open my eyes you disappear I still hear the sound of voices Far off but coming my way Like when you came to find me When my temper had led me astray Tempted to turn my head, is it strangers on holiday? Or you calling out to me To find me like yesterday How I pray [ch] Afraid to open my eyes... [Break] This place is me and you I come here often, do you? I come here often, to be alone with you, do you? Do you? Afraid to open my eyes In case you disappear Although they say it's over that's still painful to hear Minutes stretch into hours and hours I've learned to fear 'Cause each time I open my eyes Oh each time I open my eyes You disappear
