Doug Burr From The City Of The Bride
I heard the wedding vows from the City of the Bride
The planes were flying low till they covered the skies
You could hear the turbines moanin', the drone and the scream
All the colors that I love through the tops of the trees
There's a late snow fallin' hard on the Atlantic tonight
I heard the wedding vows from the City of the Bride
My uncle's blood is strong, and his blood is mine
Now have you heard from William, with two blackened and downcast eyes
We could go on up together, this Resistance is on the move
Only keep your voices low, and brush the snow off your shoes
And if we teach all the kids to use the Old Name when they write
I heard the wedding vows from the City of the Bride
Bridge:
Never a bridesmaid, always a bride
I ‘been hearin bells all my life
I wanna dress all in white
Never a bridesmaid – always a bride
And when you wake from a thousand dreams through a thousand long nights
When the Blood-Letter bleeds and the last bullet flies
And the honeysuckle starts to bloom, all wrapped around the gates
The ones we flung out in the wind down by the lakes
There's a whisper and a storm on the Atlantic tonight
I heard the wedding vows from the City of the Bride
