By the lights of St. Dominic Street Bridge she was waiting    She was waiting for me to arrive    And she told me much later that while she was waiting    She had felt so in love and alive    And then much later we rolled up at her house    Then we laughed at the stupidest thing    And then we cried when we thought of tomorrow    And the strangeness the future can bring    Let your pain just leave you when you sing she said    Let your pain just leave you when you sing    Let your pain just leave you when you sing she said    And may God to you his mercy bring    Now the lights of St. Dominic Street Bridge are still shining    But I never thought we would survive    When I think of the sad things that we did together    I still feel so in love and alive    And then much later we sometimes go walking    And then I have to fight back the tears    When I think of the thing that she told me so often    And the way that it calmed down my fears
