Blood Or Whiskey

By the lights of St. Dominic Street Bridge she was waiting
She was waiting for me to arrive
And she told me much later that while she was waiting
She had felt so in love and alive
And then much later we rolled up at her house
Then we laughed at the stupidest thing
And then we cried when we thought of tomorrow
And the strangeness the future can bring
Let your pain just leave you when you sing she said
Let your pain just leave you when you sing
Let your pain just leave you when you sing she said
And may God to you his mercy bring
Now the lights of St. Dominic Street Bridge are still shining
But I never thought we would survive
When I think of the sad things that we did together
I still feel so in love and alive
And then much later we sometimes go walking
And then I have to fight back the tears
When I think of the thing that she told me so often
And the way that it calmed down my fears
