lyrics

YEAH

that morning I fell asleep
beneath the willow tree
had a big dream when I woke up
you were there with me
you broke that little silver chain
off from around my neck
I told you, Darling,
I've got no one to protect

(chorus)
and you said, Yeah yeah yeah
that's the way it always goes
round and round she spins
and where she stops nobody knows


we went walking down
along that flashing river
you touched my stomach
and I sure did start to shiver
you tied a dreamcatcher around
every arrow in my quiver
I told you, Darling
I don't know where to deliver

(chorus)


that first winter your brother really worked my nerves
every joint I'd sneak into
he'd be there drinking he couldn't quit singing
them crack-up alarm clock blues
one night I had a big dream
I guess I was only learning
I saw a series of portraits he painted
of you and me sleeping tossing turning

(chorus)


half way across the river
the boat began to crack
I threw them oars overboard
and I begged you to scratch my back
you just kept laughing
you said, Well I guess we're doing alright
then we kinda moved in close
and watched them oars drift out of sight

(chorus)


I woke up again in your canopy bed
I didn't have nothing left to lose
I heard your daddy in the kitchen bitchin'
What the hell did I do with my shoes
you were on the back porch
you were sweeping off some ice
you always work so hard
but you always look so nice

and I say Yeah...(chorus)
