Here by the river side |
|
I brought by soon-to-be bride |
|
Through the fog and smoke |
|
Watch the geese and the barges flow |
|
She sang in the city dawn |
|
Wrapped my limbs inside her clear song |
|
Every car passing by |
|
Slowed to hear my beloved's sigh |
|
And the dew in the grass had an electric glow |
|
Yeah, the dew in the grass had an electric glow |
|
And the light cut right through |
|
Through our skin, through our bones |
|
Yeah, the light cut right through |
|
Where it glows |
|
And it glows |
|
Way up where the lighthouse runs |
|
Heard the crack of the hunters' guns |
|
She held onto my hand |
|
Drew our names in the river's sand |
|
And the dew in the grass had an electric glow |
|
Yeah, the dew in the grass had an electric glow |
|
And the light cut right through |
|
Through our skin, through our bones |
|
Yeah, the light cut right through |
|
Where it glows |
|
And it glows |
|
And coming down in the cold, cold fluorescent |
|
We watched the branches in the water drifting |
|
I said I'd never let it happen to you |
|
I said I'd never let it happen to you |
|
And the hunters coming down won't bother us with their sounds |
|
No, the hunters coming down won't bother us again with their sounds |
|
And the dew in the grass had an electric glow |
|
Yeah, the dew in the grass had an electric glow |
|
And the light cut right through, |
|
Through our skin, through our bones |
|
And the light cut right through |
|
Where it glows |
|
And it glows |
