The Bachelor and the Bride

	作曲 : 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
	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
