Lyrics:
Verse 1
The sun shines down on this summer’s day
Glistens on the river as it wends its way

Over you.
Verse 2
The wedding bells ring from over the hill
People are dressed up to the over kill
Well, it should have been me. I feel I’m all at sea
Over you.
Chorus
It’s one crash after another
It tears my heart right through
It’s one crash follows another
You know I feel so blue
Verse 3
One job today, another tomorrow
Nothing in my pocket. Nothing to show
Yet I work so hard, my fingers to the bone
Over you.
Verse 4

Living on the margins of the U.S. law
With three brothers and I, so hard to get by, over you.
