Edie Brickell Olivia Lyrics

Olivia Lyrics

Lights on the river bridge roll to the water's edge

Filling the harbor with halos

The night was cold and black when they were walking back

He held her hand in the shadows



My favorite

There is so much more to see

Why stay behind

When you could go on with me?



Icicle centuries burst into gentle breeze

Somewhere a curse has been lifted

She turned around in her chair and he touched her hair

And the universe shifted



My favorite

There is so much more to see

Why stay behind

When you could go on with me?



Olivia

Why don't you let your heart come home?

Olivia

Leave those wild young boys alone



Out on the stormy cliff silvery waters lift

High with a wild wind behind them

Vaporous rippling like a drug or a dream

Eyes in the lamplight were shining



My favorite

There is so much more to see

Why stay behind

When you could go off with me?



Olivia

Won't you let your heart come home?

Olivia

Leave those wild young boys alone
