You sent your silvery warning Black horizon storming, storming Summer steam in the morning Oh Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me
You were a beautiful fable Swept your dirt under the table, table I'd trade your oak for a maple Oh Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me
Saw you, saw you 'neath my window Saw your, saw your body flowing down They said, said you would enchant me But I know, I know where you're going now
Used to play along your shore Swam above your sandy floor, floor Beckon me unto your door Oh Stanislaus, don't waste your time on me
You showed your glittering meadow Beneath the hemlocks and the meadow's nettles You tried to lure from the meadow Oh Stanislaus, don't waste your gold on me
Saw you, saw you 'neath my window Saw your, saw your body floating down They said, said you were enchanting But I know, I know where you're going now I know where you're going now
You sent your silvery warning Black horizon storming, storming Summer steam in the morning Oh Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me Oh Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me
