Lyrics by Paul Kamm
She came across the still water
Forty some years ago come May
All alone, all alone in a way
She came across the still water
Dancing on the line between night and day
All alone, all alone in a way
She took my hand in a foreign time
And showed me the fire in her eyes
It was late last night
When we were young
Burning up the midnight sun
Some fine day she’ll find her way
Across the river, across the river
Time moves slow
It’s a one way boat across the river
She came and sat down by me there
And didn’t listen to the idle talk
From the men like a jury on the dock
She rose up out of her seat
And danced on the line between night and day
All alone, all alone in her way
I wept warm tears to wash her feet
Didn’t wait around for the summer’s heat
It was late last night
When we were young
Burning up the midnight sun
Now she’s standing at the door
Like the answer to my dreams
Like one more night
When we were young
Burning up the midnight sun
And there’s a heart
And it still burns
Burning up the midnight sun
