Lyrics
So you rode with us to temple, i said, fare thee well
sweet lips of wine
I saw you once in a crowded bar it was christmas time, you d gone off to fight the war when i returned from school
So i slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold, where did we go
I said, fare thee well, where did we go, i was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in sixty-nine
i traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom
I saw you once in a crowded bar it was christmas time, i said, fare thee well true love of mine.
I was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in sixty-nine, i remember waving back at you through a silted window pane
Where did we go, i was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in sixty-nine Nanci, where did we go
and you said, fare thee well my texas rose.
Where did we go, i was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in sixty-nine
That long ago, so you rode with us to temple
So i slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold, and then you blew a kiss of innocence as the train began to roll
He said our love was like a forest fire and he d end it with the miles, my daddy sent me off to baton rouge in nineteen-sixty-nine
So i slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold, and you said, fare thee well my texas rose. Ago, where did we go
Texas where i did catch the train, i remember waving back at you through a silted window pane
i traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom
where did we go
I traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom, that long ago
So i slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold, so you rode with us to temple Ago, and you were running from me in the rain down on congress avenue
And you were running from me in the rain down on congress avenue, and then you blew a kiss of innocence as the train began to roll
because i live my life in whispers now and i choose to live alone
my daddy sent me off to baton rouge in nineteen-sixty-nine
Sweet lips of wine, he said our love was like a forest fire and he d end it with the miles, and then you blew a kiss of innocence as the train began to roll
So i slipped back to the avenue and flipped my collar to the cold, i remember waving back at you through a silted window pane
And then you blew a kiss of innocence as the train began to roll, i traded in my innocence when the springtime came to bloom, sweet lips of wine
I said, fare thee well true love of mine., and you were running from me in the rain down on congress avenue, where did we go
And then you blew a kiss of innocence as the train began to roll, texas where i did catch the train
my daddy sent me off to baton rouge in nineteen-sixty-nine
Sweet lips of wine, that long ago
i remember waving back at you through a silted window pane
where did we go
i was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in sixty-nine
And then you blew a kiss of innocence as the train began to roll, so you rode with us to temple
i remember waving back at you through a silted window pane
i saw you once in a crowded bar it was christmas time
My daddy sent me off to baton rouge in nineteen-sixty-nine, i said, fare thee well
Because i live my life in whispers now and i choose to live alone, and you were running from me in the rain down on congress avenue Ago, that long ago
I said, fare thee well, sweet lips of wine Griffith, you d gone off to fight the war when i returned from school
