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
