Here by the river side
I brought my 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] down
Won't bother us with their sounds
No, the [bad word] 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
Yeah, the light cut right through
Where it glows and it glows...
