When You Sing Lyrics - Blood Or Whiskey

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
