On the Banks of the St. Clair

On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair
I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there
On the banks of the St. Clair

There’s too many people starin’ in our direction
There’s too many people starin’ with no connection
Why can’t we get away from this, far from all their pryin’ eyes?
They don’t need to know our business, we’re not trying to advertise

On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair
I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there
On the banks of the St. Clair

When I’ve run out of excuses to keep livin’
That’s the time I see the truth is all about forgivin’
As I try to claw my way through this unholy mess
Forgive me if I stray here and there from the path of holiness

On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair
I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there
On the banks of the St. Clair

You know the one who loves you, you know it must be me
The one who puts no-one above you – who else would that be?
There is no problem we can’t solve,
There is no wrong we can’t make right
Just tell me where it hurts,
I’ll get on top of it tonight

On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair
I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there
On the banks of the St. Clair

My love is brighter than the flowers that are shinin’ in the sun
She’s darker than the ocean where the deepest waters run
Her heart is as tender and as gentle as the rain
She’s wedded to the world with bonds of love and pain

On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair
I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there
On the banks of the St. Clair

I’m tired of waiting, tired of watchin’ the door
I waited for so long I forgot what I was waiting for
They can put me in my grave, they can bury me at sea
But they can never take away the memory of you from me

On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair
I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there
On the banks of the St. Clair
