Running to the church through the pouring rain
Skinny white boy and a foreign girl
She said "You looks so funny with your hands on fire"
I said "You look so pretty with your hair untied"
I dressed like a cowboy and got you in my sight
You were dressed like an Indian and shot me in the eye
With the Bayou Bottle from the burning store
And the boots of your father that he wore in the war
We ran through the valley from the mountain tall
And we swam in the river with our clothes torn off
You look so pretty naked shaking like a stone
And later that night you were shaking my bones
I smelled like whisky and you like wine
Like the scent of the gods is bleeding out from the pines
You look so pretty when you come on top
And you talk so sweetly when you're drifting off
Wake up in the morning with a dying fire
And we run through the snow, and we howl at the sky
When we get older we can settle down
In a little wood cabin in this redwood town
Because you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty with your hair untied
Yeah you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty with your hair untied
You have found me one night with my hands bleeding fire
You wide open and wide eyed
Because you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty with your hair untied
You look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty with your hair untied
You look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty with your hair untied
You look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty, yeah you look so pretty with your hair untied
