a place on the river

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
