Baby, wanna take you ‘round the riverbend/Sadie wanna take your hand
Then we’re dancin’, dark against the firelight/Then we’re shinin’ light against the land

Sadie wanna take you up the mountain and/Baby, wanna take you there
Then we’re climbin’ up into a cloud again/Then we’re disappearin’ in the air

Carmine and Caroline sleep inside the truck
Just made a wish/Wished for some luck
Carmine grabbed a powerline/It shook through his glove
Now a magic mountain mist settles down around their love

Baby, wanna take you ‘round the riverbend/Sadie wanna take your hand
Then we’re dancin’, dark against the firelight/Then we’re shinin’ light against the land

The reader Magdeline turned the cards to tell
Just where the big top stood/Where the strong man fell
Lions couldn’t sleep/Jugglers quoted verse
Beasts can’t ask for voodoo luck/But man begs for the curse

No story’s ever told /the way that it gets lived
No mortal heart could hold/all the luck that Sadie has to give

Baby, wanna take you ‘round the riverbend/Sadie wanna take your hand
Then we’re dancin’, dark against the firelight/Then we’re shinin’ light against the land

Sadie wanna take you up the mountain and/Baby, wanna take you there
Then we’re climbin’ up into a cloud again/Then we’re disappearin’ in the air
