Over the Rhine - I Painted My NameLyrics

I painted my name on a bridge today In black and white and red and grey You know it's really not far away From the banks of the river Where the president used to play I put it up high above the rocks below It's sheltered from the wind and the rain and snow You know the bridge where we used to go Our childish trolls and freaks and giant demons Sunday I hope you might come by On a big white boat with the sails up high Sunday I hope that you'll be true To all it is I see in you Yes strange enough I'm still in love with you And so it seems there's work to do I've got my bow and arrow and a barlow blade Come dawn I want to ride in your brigade Sunday I hope you might come by On a big white horse in the big white sky Sunday I know we'll reconcile Down by the river we'll dream awhile Down by the river we'll sing awhile Down by the river we'll play awhile Down by the river we'll cry awhile Down by the river we'll dance awhile Down by the river just you and I
