[00:00.76]Poughkeepsie-Over The Rhine [00:03.28]i thought I'd go up Poughkeepsie, [00:08.57]look out o'er the Hudson, [00:11.61] [00:12.18]and I'd throw my body down on the river. [00:23.69]And I'd know no more sorrow, [00:27.97]I'd fly like the sparrow [00:32.14]and I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight. [00:42.46] [00:43.72]I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight. [00:52.69]I'd take to the sky with all my might. [01:03.59]No more drowning in my sorrow, [01:07.56]no more drowning in my fright, [01:13.41]I'd just ride on the backs of the angels tonight.

[01:46.34]Well I'm drunk on self-pity, [01:50.93]scorned all that's been given me, [01:54.89]I would drink from a bottle labeled Sure Defeat. [02:06.34]I'd ride on the backs of the angels tonight.

[02:23.58]No more drowning in my sorrow, [02:27.73]no more drowning in my fright, [02:32.95] [02:33.46]I'd just ride on the backs of the angels tonight. [02:44.75] [02:49.41]the Then skies, they fell open [02:54.04]and my eyes were opened [02:57.50]to a world of hope falling at my feet. [03:06.38]Now I've no more or less [03:09.88]than anyone else has, [03:15.26]what I have is a gift of life I can't repeat. [03:23.59]So I go up Poughkeepsie, [03:28.62]look out o'er the Hudson [03:31.96]and I cast my worries to the sky. [03:43.11]Now I still know sorrow, [03:47.20]but I can fly like the sparrow [03:51.57]'cause I ride on the backs of the angels tonight. [04:03.01]I ride on the backs of the angels tonight. [04:11.62]I take to the sky with all their might.
