๐ 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
And they know everywhere we've been
'Cause they keep on clicking on TV screen
Going scene to scene, 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
I know you weren't the kind to leave my side
But 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
I'd 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 and I'm in the side-car
And 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
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
And they know everywhere we've been
'Cause they keep on clicking on TV screen
Going scene to scene, 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
I know you weren't the kind to leave my side
But 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
I'd 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 and I'm in the side-car
And 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
