You sent your silvery warning Black horizon storming, storming Summer steam in the morning Oh, Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me You were a beautiful fable Swept your dirt under the table, table I'd trade your oak for a maple Oh, Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me Saw you, saw you 'neath my window Saw your, saw your body floating down They said, they said you would enchant me But I know, I know where you're going now Used to play along your shore Swam above your sandy floor, floor Beckoned me unto your door Oh, Stanislaus, don't waste your time on me You showed your glittery metal 'neath the hemlocks and the nettles, nettles Tried to lure me from the meadow Oh, Stanislaus, don't waste your gold on me Saw you, saw you 'neath my window Saw your, saw your body floating down They said, they said you would enchant me But I know, I know where you're going now You sent your silvery warning Black horizon storming, storming Summer steam in the morning Oh, Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me Oh, Stanislaus, don't hold your breath for me
