Lily Of The Nile Lyrics

I hitched a ride with the bride last night
Her left hand adorn and I almost died
Thinking how we'd tower
I stepped on her bike and your grandmother cried
How my heart ran off with Lily in her eyes?
If the milk don't spill, the drip don't sour
They know everywhere we've been
They keep on clicking on TV screen
Going scene to seen
But the phone don't ring

Can you count the steps of a heart on the race?
I dance a lil' slowly so you'll catch my pace
My dress is still slipping, my face is still made
But you were the one who can take it away

Hi!
Cloud, the wave that drowned
Won't be back to catch another smile
Knock the choir free of sound
Singing
Lily of the Nile

You weren't the kind to leave my side
So you followed doubt and I followed pride
It wasn't wrong but it wasn't right for me
We weren't the kind to dress up clean
But I bought a shirt and you bought a ring
It wasn't wrong but it wasn't right for me

Hi!
Cloud, the wave that drowned
Won't be back to catch another smile
Knock the choir free of sound
Singing
Lily of the Nile
Lily of the Nile
Lily of the Nile

I almost lost my out
But I'll never cheat a winner
Run a grin a mile high
Passing the house
Missing the dinner
But don't make the baby cry
Oh, my sweet
Lily of the Nile

Can you count the steps of a heart on the race?
I dance a lil' slowly so you'll catch my pace

We go driving
I'm in the side car
I never knew love like this
Nothing's wasted and time
Catches up like a dream
You keep remembering
By God it exists
Though nothing without light
And I tried
To school the cloud
But there was no more sun in my mouth
So I hold on
Big for you
Sticky like taffy
Inching in like a warm slip in the wind 'cause
You know how the universe is
