When You Sing lyrics

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
