Legs below and eyes above
Almost beside the point to say that I'm in love
With the voice of Leonard Cohen in my ear
Cyrano will lead me to you, Dear
I forget myself sometimes
But I'll never forget you
If I can't win you in rhyme I'll be happy trying to
And the girl I love is doing all she can
One day she'll be looking for a man
But I think of her and can't help making plans
At the Hoover Dam
Boulder City sprang from dirt
I would build a fortress to shelter you from hurt
With a reservoir of all we must contain
Concrete to wall away the pain
I forget myself sometimes
But I'll never forget you
If I can't win you in rhyme I'll be happy trying to
And the girl I love is doing all she can
One day she'll be looking for a man
But I think of her and can't help making plans
At the Hoover Dam
Those shoes she wears won't slow her down
To the pace of my heart beating, she's bigger than this town
And as she leaves I will not say a word
A foolish dream remains unheard
I'll forget myself sometimes
But I'll never forget you
If I did not win you in rhyme I was happy trying to
And the girl I love is doing all she can
Now that she is looking for a man
Still I think of her and can't help making plans
At the Hoover Dam
