Melon Bend - Dispatch

Saw you in the moss

See the birds up above

You stood up with a shout

And said that it’s time

We ran through the oak hall woods

Saw the shadows on car hoods

Swinging on the old

Telephone lines

Oh, my love

I think that I could run forever

Make you stay so true

And not be lonely ever

Now my world come right

I will swim the river

Until my bones give up

You said that you were born

Daddy took you home

He whispered to the ground

Ever softly

Left the shovel on the stone

Left the hill alone

Drove like the road

Was the only life to know

Oh, my love

I think that I could run forever

We don’t stand a chance

We will run the river

I swore on your bed

I will be forever

Until my bones give up

And the birds they land

And I see both of you are there

And we are walking

We are walking

And as you turn around

I see your hands, they look like mine

And we are walking

We are walking back toward the hill

Oh, my love

I think that I could run forever

We don’t stand a chance

Tow now more than ever

Make you stay so true

And be lonely never

Until your bones give up

Oh, my love

I think that I could run forever

We don’t stand a chance

We will run the river

Now my world come right

I will never leave her

Until our bones give up
