El Dorado

if my love was a song
the sun would walk beside her across oceans of time
I chased her
across a bridge over the Missouri
into a valley
she vanished
she may have been a ghost
the train was on time
I couldn't catch it
the sun walked beside her across oceans of time
I followed her shadow
into a cave
I sat on a rock
she hovered above
I swam to a cove
laid in the sun
waited for something more dependable
when the moon rose over the horizon the sun still walked beside her
I followed her path across oceans of time and a field
over a cliff
into the great whatever
if my love was a song
the sun would walk beside her across oceans of time
all the way to El Dorado
