I Painted My Name
Over The Rhine

I painted my name on a bridge today

In black and white and red and grey

You know it's really not far away

From the banks of the river

Where the president used to play

I put it up high above the rocks below

It's sheltered from the wind and the rain and snow

You know the bridge where we used to go

Our childish trolls and freaks and giant demons

Sunday I hope you might come by

On a big white boat with the sails up high

Sunday I hope that you'll be true

To all it is I see in you

Yes strange enough I'm still in love with you

And so it seems there's work to do

I've got my bow and arrow and a barlow blade

Come dawn I want to ride in your brigade

Sunday I hope you might come by

On a big white horse in the big white sky

Sunday I know we'll reconcile

Down by the river we'll dream awhile

Down by the river we'll sing awhile

Down by the river we'll play awhile

Down by the river we'll cry awhile

Down by the river we'll dance awhile

Down by the river just you and i
