Long and slender altar in the sky
And the warm winds blowing and the riverbed was flowing
A star-crossed lover getting hotter and hotter
Oh I didn't mean to hover I just had to love her

Swimming in the water goggle at the moon
The currents they caught her hiding in my room
Mirrors in her eyes she was wet she was soaking
Ashes in the ocean and her heart was broken

It was a great day great day
It was a great day great day
It was a great day great day great day great day
It was a great day great day

The day was dark and burning all the time we were learning
The rules concerning the corner we were turning
A wish that is walking is just a crime scene talking
If it's a plea that you're copping it's just a door that you're locking

Great day great day
It was a great day great day
It was a great day great day great day great day
It was a great day great day
It wasn't such a great day
It wasn't such a great day
It wasn't such a great day
