dew in the grass

here by the river side

i brought by soon-to-be bride

through the fog and smoke

watch the geese and the barges flow

she sang in the city dawn

wrapped my limbs inside her clear song

every car passing by

slowed to hear my beloved's sigh

and the dew in the grass had an electric glow

yeah

the dew in the grass had an electric glow

and the light cut right through

through our skin

through our bones

yeah

the light cut right through

where it glows

and it glows

way up where the lighthouse runs

heard the crack of the hunters' guns

she held onto my hand

drew our names in the river's sand

and the dew in the grass had an electric glow

yeah

the dew in the grass had an electric glow

and the light cut right through

through our skin

through our bones

yeah

the light cut right through

where it glows

and it glows

and coming down in the cold

cold fluorescent

we watched the branches in the water drifting

i said i'd never let it happen to you

i said i'd never let it happen to you

and the hunters coming down won't bother us with their sounds

no

the hunters coming down won't bother us again with their sounds

and the dew in the grass had an electric glow

yeah

the dew in the grass had an electric glow

and the light cut right through

through our skin

through our bones

and the light cut right through

where it glows

and it glows
