Bristol

Bristol was the city and you were it’s princess
Clothed in little linens, standing by the shore
I dreamed the waters opened, a tide rose up behind you
And a breeze blew off the ocean just to bring your scent to me

I see him gently touch you
And I burn out every fuse
I know he’s got nothing you could want
But in time I guess he’ll show you
And at least if I can’t hold you
I can further behold you alone

I see the way your bright eyes fade
To tired, sad and grey
The tears have marked the lines upon your face
But in time I guess he’ll show you
And at least if I can’t hold you
I can further behold you alone

I hear the things the old girls say
When I drop their groceries off
I’ve seen the way he rages in the bars
But in time I guess he’ll show you
And at least if I can’t hold you
I can further behold you alone

I didn’t go to work today
I rode down to the shore
To stand just one more time where I saw you
‘Cause I heard last night they found you
And there’ll be no world without you
So I’ll swim out ‘til I see you again

Bristol was the city and you were it’s princess
Clothed in little linens, standing by the shore
I dreamed the waters opened, a tide rose up behind you
And a breeze blew off the ocean just to bring your scent to me
