On The Wind

Walk on the water again
And those who can't, well, they just have to swim
In the shallowest graves may the souls float away
On the wind

First name was Lucine
She never was one for fancy things
She wore black leather shoes over homemade tattoos
On the wind
On the wind
And she saw him first in the street
Hauled in by the local police
She said, I'll bust you out of jail if you teach me to sail
On the wind
On the wind

On the wind
Darling, you called
On the wind
Darling, you called, oh oh
Ahoo ooh
Ahoo ooh

So they stole through the night on an old motorbike
On the wind
Toasted champagne and cheap cigars
In the backseat of a getaway car
And they curl to the waves that their hands did make
On the wind
On the wind

On the wind
Darling, you called
On the wind
Darling, you called, oh oh
Ahoo ooh
Ahoo ooh

They burned that Dodge in the canyon
Hopped a boxcar in the Arkansas range
And they rode through the cold up to New Mexico
On a freight train
On a freight train
They loved the sunset on the canyon, so they stayed
They built a mud house and changed their names
And they'd dance in the evenings
To the coyote singing on the wind
Ahoo ooh

Sometimes Billy'd join in
Saying, don't ever leave me Lucine, baby
Cos, I'll never find another like you
You cool me down when the world makes me angry
So don't ever leave me, I'll always be true
