On a planet not so far away We were born together In the beginning there Was just you and me And where we was washed Up upon this river Suckled on the honey of the Tennessee Where we would sleep in The soft sunshine I smile at you and you to me And in the dark I see the moon shine in your eyes We grew strong and tall as weeds Never live forever, there Was no such thing I looked at you and you looked into me And we saw in each other, everything We knew no fear as we grew the years That's the growing up We've come to love On this planet not so far away We wouldn't stay together Rolling in a dream We'd drift apart on down the stream Like honeysuckle tangled Up in kudzu vine The snake that lay in the sun so fine I saw the true you and you true me And in your eyes I'd see The dark inside of you Woke from dreams Pulled up like weeds Never knew no better there Was no such thing I reached for you like a child that clings Oh, how we saw in each Other, everything
