[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
