[Chorus]
So we met by the pines
On Alderidge Creek
We were joyful, my lover and me
But the birds never sang and the air didn't speak
And the world lost my lover and me

[Verse 1]
For a day we were swallows
Our arms were an armor
Branches of willows and miles in the stream
Swam with the minnows
And lay at the altar
[Refrain]
Beside Alderidge Creek
The world lost my lover and me

[Chorus]
So we met by the pines
On Alderidgе Creek
We were wishful
My lovеr and me
But birds didn't fly and the air didn't breathe
And the world lost my lover and me

[Verse 2]
For a day we were dasies
Our heads spun together
Clouds over prairies
Our dream reached the sea
Time went all hazy
Turned into forever
[Refrain]
Beside Alderidge Creek
The world lost my lover and me
[Chorus]
So we met by the pines
On Alderidge Creek
We were watchful
My lover and me
But the birds didn't rise and the air stayed asleep
And the world lost my lover and me

[Verse 3]
For a day we were shadows
We danced under flowers
Our kisses were arrows like meteor streams
Moonlight on windows
We lived beond hours
[Refrain]
Beside Alderidge Creek
The world lost my lover and me

[Chorus]
So we meet by the pines
On Alderidge Creek
We were hopeful my lover and me
And birds flew right by and earth made them sing
But the world lost my lover and me
