Intro: D A D
For two daDys the riAver keeps you dDown
Then you riAse to the ligGht without a Dsound
Past the plaDygrounds and emApty switching yaDrds
The turtles eat the sAkin from your eyes, so they lay Gopen to the sDtars
Your cloDthes give way to the cuArrent and river sDtone
'Till every tArace of who you ever were is gDone
And the thDings of the eaArth they make their cDlaim
That the thAings of heaGven may do the saDme
GGoodbye, my darling, for your Dlove I give God thanks,
MDeet me on the MatamGoros
MDeet me on the MatamGoros
MDeet me on the AMatamoros bDanks
Over rivers of sDtone and anAcient ocean bDeds
I walk on twiAne and tGire treaDd
My pockets full of duDst, my moAuth filled with cool stDone
The pale moon opAens the earth to its boDnes
I loGng, my darling, for your kiDss, for your sweet loAve I give God thDanks
The touGch of your loving fingertDips
MDeet me on the MatamGoros
MDeet me on the MatamGoros
MDeet me on the AMatamoros bDanks D A D
Your sweet meDmory comes Aon the evenin' wDind
I sleep and dAream of holdGing you in my arms aDgain
The lights of BrDownsville, aAcross the river shDine
A shout rings oAut and into the silty red river I dDive
I loGng, my darling, for your kiDss, for your sweet loAve I give God thaDnks
A toGuch of your loving fingertDips
MDeet me on the MatamGoros
MDeet me on the MatamGoros
MDeet me on the AMatamoros Dbanks
