[00:00.76] Poughkeepsie-Over The Rhine
[00:03.28] i thought I'd go up Poughkeepsie,
[00:08.57] look out o'er the Hudson,
[00:11.61]
[00:12.18] and I'd throw my body down on the river.
[00:23.69] And I'd know no more sorrow,
[00:27.97] I'd fly like the sparrow
[00:32.14] and I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight.
[00:42.46]
[00:43.72] I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight.
[00:52.69] I'd take to the sky with all my might.
[01:03.59] No more drowning in my sorrow,
[01:07.56] no more drowning in my fright,
[01:13.41] I'd just ride on the backs of the angels tonight.
[01:25.51]
[01:29.47] There are those who know sorrow
[01:34.07] and those who must borrow
[01:38.28] and those whose lot in life is sweet.
[01:46.34] Well I'm drunk on self-pity,
[01:50.93] scorned all that's been given me,
[01:54.89] I would drink from a bottle labeled Sure Defeat.
[02:06.34] I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight.
[02:14.78] I'd take to the sky with all my might.
[02:23.58] No more drowning in my sorrow,
[02:27.73] no more drowning in my fright,
[02:32.95]
[02:33.46] I'd just ride on the backs of the angels tonight.
[02:44.75]
[02:49.41] the Then skies, they fell open
[02:54.04] and my eyes were opened
[02:57.50] to a world of hope falling at my feet.
[03:06.38] Now I've no more or less
[03:09.88] than anyone else has,
[03:15.26] what I have is a gift of life I can't repeat.
[03:23.59] So I go up Poughkeepsie,
[03:28.62] look out o'er the Hudson
[03:31.96] and I cast my worries to the sky.
[03:43.11] Now I still know sorrow,
[03:47.20] but I can fly like the sparrow
[03:51.57] 'cause I ride on the backs of the angels tonight.
[04:03.01] I ride on the backs of the angels tonight.
[04:11.62] I take to the sky with all their might.
[04:21.06]
[04:22.57] No more drowning in my sorrow,
[04:26.67] no more drowning in my fright,
[04:32.39] I'll just ride on the backs of the angels each night.
