Over the Rhine - Lifelong Fling lyrics

The moon blind-sided the sky again As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then The slippery slide You know I can't say when I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly With roiling joy Lazy as sin Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend And the space he's in It can make a girl grin In the beginning of a lifelong fling I wrote down a dream Folded the note Slipped it in the pocket of my tattered coat I wrote down a dream In invisible ink It never was mine I'm beginning to think I wrote down a dream What more could I do I drew myself a picture and the picture was you I wrote myself a riddle I said, What I wouldn't do To give something good To a love like you The moon blind-sided the sky again As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then The slippery slide You know I can't say when I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly With roiling joy Lazy as sin Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend And the space he's in It can make a girl grin In the beginning of a lifelong fling I wrote down a dream Folded the note Pa**ed it to you we stepped in our boat Sailed ‘round the world We were hoping to find More than the sum of all we left behind I wrote down a dream But what was it now And why does it all feel so distant somehow Did I take too long Did I get it wrong You're still the missing line in my favorite song The moon blind-sided the sky again As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then The slippery slide You know I can't say when I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly With roiling joy Lazy as sin Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend And the space he's in It can make a girl sing
