| [00:13.62] |
I met you in the saddle |
| [00:17.25] |
Rode you in the dust |
| [00:19.74] |
Held your hand to the heavens |
| [00:22.47] |
Pulled your heart to the earth |
| [00:26.23] |
There was something that blinded me |
| [00:29.93] |
More than the mist |
| [00:32.24] |
And the breath of the cottonwood |
| [00:35.56] |
Buds lighter yet |
| [00:40.93] |
And you rode the maypole |
| [00:43.79] |
Of dance hall legs |
| [00:46.62] |
And galloped to another's embrace |
| [00:52.26] |
And I bit the flowers |
| [00:54.70] |
From your wrist corsage |
| [00:57.83] |
And you waltzed too slowly |
| [01:00.85] |
Too slowly you waltzed |
| [01:03.31] |
With that girl from Widow's Grove |
| [01:08.49] |
Oh I'd follow you to the river |
| [01:14.78] |
That washes out to the sea |
| [01:19.98] |
Through the wind |
| [01:21.62] |
Through the rain |
| [01:22.94] |
Of a cold dark night |
| [01:25.89] |
That's where I'll be |
| [01:37.07] |
Near the breath of a swallow |
| [01:40.02] |
Petals dropped as you fell |
| [01:42.78] |
And you grabbed then shyly held me |
| [01:45.47] |
Against the stone cold well |
| [01:49.22] |
In your hand was a glass |
| [01:52.32] |
You held the ice against the night |
| [01:55.42] |
And it dripped and it sparkled |
| [01:58.44] |
And I laughed a wish |
| [02:04.08] |
Before it all slipped down the dark tunneled well |
| [02:09.70] |
I heard it melt quietly and |
| [02:13.01] |
I looked at you |
| [02:15.73] |
Bent to the earth |
| [02:17.92] |
With just one pleading wish |
| [02:21.00] |
Your skirts brushed to the furious |
| [02:24.38] |
Pounding |
| [02:29.12] |
Oh I'd follow you to the river |
| [02:35.76] |
That washes out to the sea |
| [02:40.51] |
Through the wind |
| [02:42.01] |
Through the rain |
| [02:43.47] |
Of a cold dark night |
| [02:46.36] |
That's where I'll be |
| [03:42.44] |
I hid in the elm |
| [03:44.18] |
And raised the bough |
| [03:45.86] |
That hung even with your neck |
| [03:48.88] |
And I chased you and drowned you |
| [03:51.45] |
There deep in the well |
| [03:55.22] |
And when your mouth was full and wet |
| [03:58.53] |
I swallowed all your reckless fate |
| [04:01.59] |
And with your last breath |
| [04:04.37] |
You moaned too drunk to wake |
| [04:08.71] |
Oh I'd follow you to the river |
| [04:14.26] |
That washes out to the sea |
| [04:19.76] |
Through the wind |
| [04:21.29] |
Through the rain |
| [04:22.76] |
Of a cold dark night |
| [04:25.65] |
That's where I'll be |
| [04:30.81] |
Through the wind |
| [04:33.48] |
Through the rain |
| [04:34.23] |
Of a cold dark night |
| [04:37.02] |
That's where I'll be |
