Bonneville Lyrics by Trip Shakespeare

Lulu

1991

By Turtle Lake
The dawn began to break
Green glowed that bonneville, her father's car
We stayed out long
Her kisses were sweet and strong
Far from the kitchen of her daddy's farm
Into dreams we walked
Whistled and talked
Then from the yellow bills of mourning doves
Came a daylight song
Happy sad song
Dreamed that we had come to be in love
By Turtle Lake
The road began to shake
(Dawn began to break)
Cars on that motorway beyond the hill
(sun began to shine)
Both chairs reclined
She seemed so completely mine
(A dream so completely fine)
She lies beside me in that Bonneville
On our way we heard bells
Sunday school ells
She says her father might be worried now
When her dad woke he must've known that the dam was broke
Meanwhile she drives me to my place in town
Into dreams we walked
Whistled and talked
Then from the yellow bills of mourning doves
Came a daylight song
Happy sad song
Seems like we might come to be in love
Coo coo coo coo
Coo coo coo coo
Dreamed that we had come to be in love
Seems like we might come to be in love
