Lyrics
Las Vegas © 2003
River... are you listening river,
I heard a voice from the dry lit night calling me away;
but they warned me not to mingle with sinners
and dirty, silver-tongued rogues; I guess I?ll never learn.
Las Vegas was our stop then, you were lost and I was following,
but I lost you too along the way;
bail bonds and holy water couldn?t save you twice my love,
but somehow the city understood.
I was reeling from the noise of rejection
and the stench of a stale beer that turned me inside out.
I was riding on the back of a lounge dragon,
dabbled in keno and nickel slots in the corner of paradise.
Dreamer... you call yourself a dreamer,
well honey I got my own dreams too... just tell me where to begin;
and if you let go there?s a place out the window,
a city short on regret that?ll never ask you why.
Las Vegas was our stop then, you were lost and I was following,
but I lost you too along the way;
bail bonds and holy water couldn?t save you twice my love,
but somehow the city understood.
River... are you listening river; I had to go to the desert to finally get wet.
