Dew In The Grass

(album: White Water, White Bloom - 2009)

Here by the river side
I brought by soon-to-be bride
Through the fog and smoke
Watch the geese and the barges flow

She sang in the city dawn
Wrapped my limbs inside her clear song
Every car passing by
Slowed to hear my beloved's 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 our skin, through our 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's 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 our skin, through our bones
Yeah, the light cut right through
Where it glows
And it glows

And coming down in the cold, cold fluorescent
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 our skin, through our bones
And the light cut right through
Where it glows
And it glows
