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
