Saturday Night & Sunday Morning Lyrics - Steve Earle

(david olney version - from eye of the storm) 

If I was saturday night 

And you were sunday morning 

For a fleeting moment we could touch at midnight 

And in that moment, could you really know me? 

But I am looking cross the river 

Longing to be near 

The water is too wide, I can not reach you 

I'm as close as I can ever hope to be

And if I was winter dying 

And you the virgin spring 

Gladly to your warmth I would surrender 

To melt the snows and set the rivers free 

But I am standing on the mountain 

Longing to be near 

Heaven is too high, I can not reach you 

I'm as close as I can ever hope to be 

And if you were the water that he turned into wine 

And you could satisfy a drunkard's thirst 

Well, I'd surely drink until I could not see 

But I am lost in the devil's storm 

Longing to be near 

The wind, it blows too hard, I can not reach you 

I'm as close as I can ever hope to be

And if I was saturday night 

And you were sunday morning 

For a fleeting moment we could touch at midnight 

And in that moment, could you really know me?
