Then I Kissed Her Softly

I fell in the muddy water
in the old backyard afternoon
somehow, the city is golden
and somewhere is home
It's allright, Tessie
under the bleeding sun
they closed the station so long ago
all day and summer long


Some things I do cause I love you
other to make you love me
But that doesn't mean sweet angel
that either of them isnt true
To be undying
in a dying society
I hope someday you will wear my last name
all day and summer long
all day and summer long


I fell in the muddy water
I was blinded by hate
old home streets and all white trees
and climbing the stairs
At the corner of the railroad
where the sun allows the dust
to move from side to side
all day and summer long
all day and summer long


I know I know
there is something
I know, I learned it from you
you are made of gold


I fell in the muddy water
we are all the victims
(and the murderers)
