I can almost touch the stars Shining wild and bright. I could hold a comet's tail Like a brilliant kite. Through the back fence by the river, Over stones to you. Simple, yes, but never easy, Over stones for you. I could chase the sunset down; Beat it to its rest. I could steal the highest clouds And wrap them around your breasts. Through the back fence by the river, Over stones to you. Simple, yes, but never easy, Over stones for you. Tonight the constellations whirl; The moon hangs just above. All these things don't mean a thing Because you doubt our love Through the back fence by the river, Over stones to you. Simple, yes, but never easy, Over stones for you.
