v.1
Fell in love with a country girl, mornin' sunshine
She was up from another world just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning [unholy lady]
Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away

v.2
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
Left my heart on the other side, all to break this man to bits
Her smile was a winter song, all summers ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air

Refrain:
In dreams I think of you
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down
She brings broken dreams, fallen stars
The endless search for where you are
(Sail on, sail on) [2t]

Instr. Brk.

Rpt. v.1

v.3
Don't sail away on a crimson tide
Don't leave your heart on the other side
Her eyes are an endless flame
Ooh, desire, what a special name
Don't ever fall in love, don't give your heart away
No never, never fall in love with a country girl
