1
I met you in the saddle, rode you in the dust
2
Held your hand to the heavens, pulled your heart to the earth
3
There was something blinded me more than the mist
4
And the breath of the cottonwood buds lighter yet
5
And you rode the maypole of dance hall legs
6
And galloped to another's embrace
7
And I bit the flowers from your wrist corsage
8
And you waltzed too slowly, too slowly you waltzed
9
With that girl from Widow's Grove
10
Oh, I'd follow you to the river, that washes out to the sea
11
Through the wind, through the rain of a cold dark night
12
That's where I'll be
13
Near the breath of a swallow, petals dropped as you fell
14
As you grabbed then shyly held me, against the stone cold well
15
In your hand was a glass, you held the ice against the night
16
And it dripped and it sparkled and I laughed a wish
17
Before it all slipped all down the dark, tunneled well
18
I heard it melt quietly and I looked at you
19
Bent to the earth with just one pleading wish
20
Your skirts brushed to the furious pounding
21
Oh, I'd follow you to the river, that washes out to the sea
22
Through the wind, through the rain of a cold dark night
23
That's where I'll be
24
I hid in the elm and raised the bough, that hung even with your neck
25
And I chased you and drowned you, there deep in the lake
26
And when your mouth was full and wet, I swallowed all your reckless fate
27
And with your last breath, you moaned too drunk to wake
28
Oh, I'd follow you to the river, that washes out to the sea
29
Through the wind, through the rain of a cold dark night
30
That's where I'll be
31
Through the wind, through the rain of a cold dark night
32
That's where I'll be
