There's a place on the river
Where it forms pools and turns
Where ferns shade the moss
And pines shade the ferns
And you can tell by the smell
Of the cool damp air
That you don't really have any business there
You can see it from your window
As the train goes by
Back in the shadows
Under the midday sky
And if the wind don't blow
And the river's not too high
The chances are good you'll see a dragonfly
Ba da dum de dum dum...etc.
