lyrics
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
We built our castles on the coast and held the sea at bay
Over plains and prairies and to the Western shore
We left religion in the dust; it won't touch us no more
But oh, my love
I see you standing there in the doorway
Oh, my love
You're like a ghost smoking all of my dreams away
Oh, my love
I won't be rewinding this story back to the start
Oh, my love
Looks like my own truth serum went straight to my heart
Over the river and through the woods to grandma's house we go
She takes one look in her Good Book
Says "it's hopeless, you know"
Through the eye of the needle and closer to God
Won't someone take me higher
Well the Devil's full of good advice:
He says "don't play with fire" (he said that?)
Oh, my love
You look so sweet with your little box of matches
Oh, my love
I can't live only on ice cream and ashes
Oh my love
Life is too short and the road to your house is too long
Oh, my love
If they catch me, I'll swear this is someone else's song....
Red rover red rover
Send me right over
Here's the church and the steeple
And inside all the people
In the heat and in the din I heard my master's voice
And then the sea came rushing in, I heard no other noise
But daisy daisy daisy over the bounding main
We're rigged up tight and every night
We set our course again
But oh my love
I hear the crew whispering about the stowaway below
Oh my love
I'm praying, I'm praying I won't have to let you go
Oh, my love
I put a message in this little bottle for you
Oh, my love
Take just one drink, one drink, and tell me the truth:
Do you feel like I do?
Do you feel like I do?
Do you feel like I do?
