Here by the river side
I brought by soon-to-be bride
Through the fog and smoke
Watch the geese and the barges float
She's singing the city dawn
Wrap my limbs inside her clear song
Every car passing by slowed to hear my beloved 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 her skin, through her 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 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 her skin, through her bones
Yeah, the light cut right through where it glows
And it glows
Coming down in the cold, cold fluorescence
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 her skin, through her bones
And the light cut right through where it glows
And it glows

Come closer to the window frame
Window to the dark and the field of snow
I saw you running like summer flame
Running through the grass, turning gold to black
Oh! turn the dirt over
If you wanna grow back
Oh! open up the shutters
See the moon light on the snow
You left your brother in a northern town
Took the ferry o'er the water on the bay
His body covered by the colors going down
The statue in the square before the wind could change
Oh! turn the water over
If you wanna flow down
Oh! open up the shutters
See the fallen snow
Fallen snow
Oh! turn the water over
If you wanna flow down
Oh! open up the shutters
See the fallen snow
Fallen snow
Come softly to the window frame
Window through the dark and the field of snow
I saw you running like a summer flame
Running through the grass, turning gold to black
Oh! turn the dirt over
If you wanna blow black
Oh! open up the shutters
See the moonlight on the snow
See the moonlight on the snow

"Show me your stripes" said the zebra to
The wicked spider in the morning dew
"I will provide for you shelter and wine
If you can prove that you are of my kind"
O Maria!
Break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
O Maria!
You broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
And then the spider turned onto its back
Displayed the colors and (?)
Said, "When we go, we go"
And so they crossed the windy field
Spider provided by the zebra's heels
And every bird from above did cry
"You will be bitten boy, you'll surely die"
O Maria!
Break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
O Maria!
You broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
We may be different
Two sides of the same fence
You bring your elegance and me my dumb strength
You were so kind to me
Beneath the willow trees
You took my hand in yours and I got down on my knees
They said I couldn't see it clear
They said that it would disappear
but when they came upon us found
(?) fall apart in their fears
I see what I can hear
And I fear what I cannot fear
And I need it to be true, but I saw your face come near
O Maria!
Break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
O Maria!
I'd do it all again for you
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
O Maria!
I'd do it all again for you

I felt the cold of the ice and water
Come flowing through as it pulled me under
I saw my hand reaching up in the ether
And touched the branches in my cold white fever
Flow, white water, flow down to me
I heard you calling in the city canyons
I should have waited by the window lanterns
But I went running through the moonlit forest
Alone and searching for the cold white current
Flow, white water, flow down to me
Flow, white water, flow me out to sea
And coming through the mist
Into the calm and clear
In the emerald gleam
I can feel you near
The dogwoods on the banks
Glowing in the gloom
On every naked branch,
A beautiful white bloom
(Amazing Solo)
I see you running in the tall wild grasses
Young and free along the river rapids
Your body folding in the foreign air
Your lovely hands reaching down from there
Flow, white water, flow clean on through
Flow, white water, flow me o'er to you
And coming through the mist
Into the calm and clear
In the emerald gleam
I can see you near
Standing on the shore
Glowing in the gloom
From you parted lips,
A beautiful white bloom
(Amazing Solo #2)

Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
I was a petty thief in the dirt
I took my (?) back from you, made you hurt
You were a dove of simple beauty and call
I stood you up just to watch you fall
Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
I saw you sleeping on the bus last night
I saw your arm around another in the bus light
I kept on driving by the river and fields
Out to the harbor where the cold could help me heal
Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
I know he's out there in the desert by the sea
With golden feathers he'll come flying back to me
I'll know him by the lighting around his eyes
He's my protector and he'll keep me alive
Spirit horse, spirit me away
I had a vision by the river side today
Spirit horse, spirit me away
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
Come take my body, fly me over the bay
Come take my body 'fore I throw it in the bay
