Cloud Cult May Your Hearts Stay Strong Lyrics

He met her at a night club
She couldn't keep the beat
She wore her grandma's prom dress
Raccoon slippers on her feet

He took a shot of something strong
To make him feel less weak
And so the story goes

There's something to be said about
Trading stories of when you were 8 years old
He had his first stitches
When he bit an ice cream bowl

She had her first kiss
In a swimming hole
So the story goes

And the days grew long
And the wine was overflowing
And she knew she was in love
'Cause nobody ever hugged her like that
Hugged her like that
Hugged her like that
Hugged her like that

They moved into a school bus
Just 'cause it seemed like fun
She said, "I like the way your touch me
It makes me feel like I have no skeleton"

And so the story goes

And I've seen photographs
And video tapes
Of that diesel home
That loving place

And it's about time
Two mind combined
In such a fine fine way

And may your lives be long And may your wishes all be simple
And may your hearts stay strong

Tucked in the bed
You see the ghost of your teddy bear
Check under the covers
Just to make sure he's still sleeping there

Turn wedding gowns into angel clothes
For the baby to wear
Turn wedding gowns into angel clothes
For the baby to wear

She rides him like the state fair
They make love like two solar flares
Caring like they really care
That they're gonna make it

He wants to die in the place where
She first said, "I love you"
Spread his ashes with the blood
From the last kiss that she blew

They decorate when father lives
They celebrate through hungriness
And it's about time two minds combine
In such a fine fine way

And may your lives be long
And may your wishes all be simple
And may your hearts stay strong

And may your lives be long
And may your wishes all be simple
And may your hearts stay strong
