"Olivia"
by Edie Brickell
from the album "Picture Perfect Morning"
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 had 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
Oh----Olivia
Won't you let your heart come home
Oh----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 on with me
Oh----Olivia
Won't you let your heart come home
Oh----Olivia
Leave those wild young boys alone
