To Love Is To Bury, Natalie Merchant
i don't know......
I buried him down by the river
Cause thats where he liked to be
And every night when the moon is high
I go there and weep openly
Cause thats where he liked to be
And every night when the moon is high
I go there and weep openly
He and I were married
By this river neath this willow tree
And with God and friends witnessing it
He pledged his life to me
By this river neath this willow tree
And with God and friends witnessing it
He pledged his life to me
To me he was earth
And I rooted in his soil
I to he was sky vast and free
Of the burdens from which he toiled
And I rooted in his soil
I to he was sky vast and free
Of the burdens from which he toiled
Then one night a terrible fight
Words spoken better left unsaid
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
He gave his life to me
Words spoken better left unsaid
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
He gave his life to me
They say to love is to bury
Those demons from which we all hide
But tonight by this river neath this willow tree
Becoming one of earth and sky
Those demons from which we all hide
But tonight by this river neath this willow tree
Becoming one of earth and sky
Well they say, to love is to bury
All the demons from which we hide
But tonight by this river neath this willow tree
Becoming one of earth and sky
All the demons from which we hide
But tonight by this river neath this willow tree
Becoming one of earth and sky
My Right Eye - Laurie Anderson
Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.
Hold your breath. Hold your breath. Close your eyes.
Let the rest of the world go by.
Hold your breath. Hold your breath. Close your eyes.
Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Please forgive me if I fall short of your mark.
But there are things still buried in my heart, pause
Heart pause. Heart pause. Then vanish. Then vanish.
But there are things still buried in my heart, pause
Heart pause. Heart pause. Then vanish. Then vanish.
Unstoppable time. All the things you left behind.
In the night. In the night.
Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.
In the night. In the night.
Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.
And when the tears fall from both my eyes
They fall from my right eye because I love you
And they fall from my left eye 'cause I cannot bear you.
They fall from my right eye because I love you
And they fall from my left eye 'cause I cannot bear you.
Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Comes crawling. In the night. Comes crawling. In the night.
Comes crawling home. In the night. In the night.
Comes crawling home. In the night. In the night.
