[Verse 1]
Well I remember the first time I saw you
From the North side of the river
You crossed my eyes
Your image burned in my mind
And from that moment it never did [?]
That I saw you again was a miracle
Though I'm no believer in fate
I'll take what I'm given and be grateful [?]
But I know it's not mine to take
Not mine to take
[Chorus]
Pancho says to Tennessee
"I remember the loneliest that I've ever been
Is the day that I caught you looking at me
From the North side of the River"
[Verse 2]
Well you smell to smoke
And you smell to [?]
You smell to the heat and the dust
There was a flash in the sky as the day turned to night
And the day had came in with a rush
Three days and three nights was a mark of a time
Somewhere between eternity and seconds
It opened up something I could never explain
Something I never expected
I never expected
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Our love is as sure as the rivers in the hills
As delicate as a cactus bloom
It rides on the wind and then it shines with the stars
Like a candle flickers in a quiet room
For a moment it's here
And in a moment it's gone
I felt it slipping to the ether
And then we'll be on
I reached for your hand and then I prayed for my [?]
Then I took a long walk into the light of the day
[Chorus]
