You pour springtime in the river each year And then dose me with summer, You live up on the ridge And one day we'll meet and I'll trade in my fear
And there'll be new words for "ridge" and for "death" I'm absolutely positive.
You float flowers downstream to my eyes These things don't simply happen They're fated and wise And the winters are empty and dry
And I'm sure as my breath, I'm absolutely positive.
And you love me with tangerine skies And the seaside is marvelous, light blue and white The clouds billow up with the tide I'm absolutely positive.
And you wrote me a song for my death. You said love isn't obvious, off with your head! And you laughed as you pushed back my hair And looked straight in my eyes.
