Blood Or Whiskey When You Sing Lyrics

When You Sing Lyrics

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
