  • Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
    She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
    Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
    Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah

    We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
    Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits
    Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending
    Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air

    In dreams I think of you
    I don't know what to do with myself
    Time has let me down
    She brings broken dreams, fallen stars,
    the endless search for where you are
    (sail on, sail on)

    Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
    She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
    Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
    Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh!

    Don't sail away on a crimson tide!
    Don't leave your heart on the other side!
    Her eyes are an endless flame
    Desire with a special name
    Don't ever fall in love!
    Don't give your heart away!
    No never, never fall in love with a country girl! Writer/s: RONNIE JAMES DIO, TERRENCE BUTLER, TONY IOMMI
