lyrics

I was a young bull
You had a red dress on
I stepped out on stage and bled out our song
And you sang along
I came crashing in
Like a bad dream
I took you down to a rocky stream
To the place where a young girl had drowned
Long ago

You were so sure
That you knew me then
A tender heart shown through a crooked grin
I stepped in the water
And you followed me in

You were cold then
I covered you in rags
You wore them proud like a tattered flag
And you raised your glass and proposed a toast
To the young girl's ghost

I never loved you more
Than when your face went still
You drank in the river until you had your fill
The rags that you wore
Clung tight to your body

Your hair flowed Like a falling rain
I plunged my hand in your chest and removed your pain
Your soul, now free of its imperfect host
Now rests on the bank with the young girl’s ghost
