Here by the river side
I brought my soon to be bride
Through the fog and smoke
Watch the geese and the barges floatShe's singing the city dawn
Wrap my limbs inside her clear song
Every car passing by slowed
To hear my beloved sighAnd the dew in the grass had an electric glow
Yeah, the dew in the grass had an electric glowAnd the light cut right through
Through her skin, through her bones
Yeah, the light cut right through
Where it glows and it glows
Way up where the lighthouse runs
Heard the crack of the hunters' guns
She held onto my hand
Drew our names in the river sandAnd the dew in the grass had an electric glow
Yeah, the dew in the grass had an electric glowAnd the light cut right through
Through her skin, through her bones
Yeah, the light cut right through
Where it glows and it glowsComing down in the cold, cold fluorescence
We watched the branches in the water drifting
I said I'd never let it happen to you
I said I'd never let it happen to youAnd the hunters coming down
Won't bother us with their sounds
No, the hunters coming down
Won't bother us again with their sounds
And the dew in the grass had an electric glow
Yeah, the dew in the grass had an electric glowAnd the light cut right through
Through her skin, through her bones
Yeah, the light cut right through
Where it glows and it glows
