Long and slender
Altar in the sky
And the warm winds blowing
The river bed was flowing
A star crossed lover
Getting hotter and hotter
I didn't mean to hover
I just had to love herSwimming in the water
I goggle at the moon
The currents they caught her
Hiding in my room
Mirrors in her eyes
She was wet she was soaking
Ashes in the ocean
And her heart was brokenIt was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
Great day, great day
It was a great day, great dayThe day was dark and burning
All the time we were learning
The rules concerning
Of the corner we were turning
A wish that is walking
Is just a crime scene talking
If it's a plea that you're copping
It's just a door that you're lockingGreat day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
Great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It wasn't such a great day
It wasn't such a great day
It was a great day, great day
It wasn't such a great day
