The Bachelor and the Bride
Lyricist:Colin Patrick Meloy
There's a wrinkle in the water Where we laid our first daughter And I think the wind blows so sweetly there Over there
And the windows and the cinders And the willows in the timbers The infernal rattling of the rain Still remains
But I, said the bachelor to the bride Am not waiting for tonight No, I, I will box your ears And leave you here stripped bare Stripped bare
Hear the corncrakes and the deer hooves And the sleet rain on the slate roof A medallion locked inside her hands In her hands Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And his fingers, are they telling Of the barren of her belly? Do his calluses cure her furrowed brow Even now?
But I, said the bachelor to the bride Am not waiting for tonight No, I, I will box your ears And leave you here stripped bare Stripped bare Stripped bare Stripped bare
But I, said the bachelor to the bride Am not waiting for tonight No, I, I will box your ears And take your tears And leave you, leave you here stripped bare
