By the Water of Babylon I drove my car

from "Restore" by Dudley Saunders

By the waters of Babylon I drove my car
with you beside me
it was not far
you traced the map-roads with the edge of a knife
by the waters of Babylong
I lost your life

By the watb ers of Babylon a-headed west
you told me stories that had no sense
I looked at your sweet lips
that spoke once so fine
by the waters of Babylon
I lost your mind

down through the windshield
on a ray of sun
the crows swept down
and it was done
I looked in the darkness
where their beaks had pried
by the waters of Babylon
I lost your eyes

by the waters of Babylon
that car broke down
I laid you out upon the ground
dust covered you over
the car still won't start
by the waters of Babylon
I lost your heart
