One, two, three, four ♪ I bet you've never seen the sun going down Under the valleys and hills of this town The way my woman lays down beside me Every night we dream and wake up shining with it Nothing goes by her Free as her will Nobody knows it's over until She just leans upon the windowsill Stares through my soul so cold and still Ruthie came over last night to my house We screamed and we cried and we kissed on the mouth Just like old days where the summer would never end And we'd follow the way that river did bend ♪ Picking roses out of her teeth Fallen petals on naked sheets There's something so sweet in her memory Or the warmth of her body I go though waves of heaviness No I cannot explain this Poetry in a simple kiss The everlasting longing-ness Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane Maybe I'm just willing to fall in the rain I go out there and I hear her name Echo in the chambers of my brain Well Ruthie came over and knocked on my door The thunder did rattle and the rain did pour And I grabbed her closer than ever before And we followed the way that river did roar ♪ I lost myself in there for a while Living in the city of denial Caught up on things that I could not change Strung out and high on everything Maybe I drink to free up my mind The overwhelming emotional kind Of heart that feels too much inside Wounded and lost like an orphan child The greatest kind of love to ever exist Oh I wanna believe in this Kind of love that just wants to give And unconditionally live It's so beautiful It could make one cry The universe and stars fell right from her eyes Those tears of joy and tears of pain Tears like rivers made out of rain Well I almost lost it last night when I heard The telephone ringing and the voice it was hers She said it's been one long lost verse Of whispers and heartache and lovers and words But baby I love you more than this whole world I miss you, I need you, I'm sorry, I hurt For letting things go the way our hearts did bend Well you are my river that will never end You You ♪ I bet you've never seen the sun going down Under the valleys and hills of this town The way my woman would lay down beside me Every night we would dream and wake up Shining with it
