Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air
In dreams I think of you I don't know what to do with myself Time has let me down She brings broken dreams, fallen stars The endless search for where you are (Sail on, sail on)
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh!
Don't sail away on a crimson tide! Don't leave your heart on the other side! Her eyes are an endless flame Desire with a special name Don't ever fall in love! Don't give your heart away! No never, never fall in love with a country girl!
