What Are The Lyrics For Poughkeepsie By Over the Rhine?
I thought I'd go up Poughkeepsie
Look out over the Hudson And I'd throw my body down on the river And I'd know no more sorrow I'd fly like the sparrow And I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight [Chorus:] I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight I'd take to the sky with all my might No more drowning in my sorrow No more drowning in my fright I'd just ride on the backs of the angels tonight There are those who know sorrow And those who must borrow And those whose lot in life is sweet Well, I'm drunk on self-pity Scorned all that's been given me I would drink from a bottle labeled "Sure Defeat" [Chorus] Then the skies - they fell open And my eyes were opened To a world of hope falling at my feet Now I've no more or less Than anyone else has What I have is a gift of life I can't repeat So I go up Poughkeepsie Look out over the Hudson And I cast my worries to the sky Now I still know sorrow But I can fly like the sparrow 'Cause I ride on the backs of the angels tonight I ride on the backs of the angels tonight I take to the sky with all their might No more drowning in my sorrow No more drowning in my fright I'll just ride on the backs of the angels each night |
