Lifelong Fling Lyrics - Over The Rhine

The moon blind-sided the sky again 

As we grab loose ends of the tide and then 

The slippery slide 

You know I can't say when 

I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly 

With rolling joy 

Lazy as sin 

Lying up in heaving with my special friend 

And the space he's in 

It could make a girl grin 

In the beginning of a lifelong fling 

I wrote down a dream 

Folded the note 

Slipped in the pocket of my tattered coat 

I wrote down a dream 

In invisible ink 

It never was mine I'm beginning to think 

I wrote down a dream 

What more could I do 

I drew myself a picture and the picture was you 

I wrote myself a riddle 

I said, "What I wouldn't do 

To give something good to a love like you" 

The mood blind-sided the sky again 

As we grab loose ends of the tide and then 

The slippery slide 

You know I can't say when 

I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly 

With rolling joy 

Lazy as sin 

Lying up in heaven with my special friend 

And the space he's in 

It could make a girl grin 

In the beginning of a lifelong fling 

I wrote down a dream 

Folded the note 

Passed it to you, stepped in our boat 

Sailed round the world 

Hoping to find 

More than the sum of what we left behind 

I wrote down a dream 

But what was it now? 

And why does it all feel so distant somehow? 

Did I take too long? 

Did I get it wrong? 

You're still the missing line in my favorite song 

The moon blind-sided the sky again 

As we grab loose ends of the tide and then 

The slippery slide 

You know I can't say when 

I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly 

With rolling joy 

Lazy as sin 

Lying up in heaven with my special friend 

And the space he's in 

It could make a girl sing
