The Widow's Bane - The Wedding Song текст песни

I kept these roses
Now they're dried and grey
And all the color that was in 'em--
It all ran away.
Left my heart chalked full of kerosene.
Strike a match turn my love to confetti.

There ain't no lady,
There ain't no girl,
There ain't no dame,
In this whole damn world,
that could love a man--a man like me.
There's plenty of fish as well as sharks in the deep blue sea.

Over--my dreams are over.
I tried to hold her.
But now I just owe her.
What's left of me?
I know I've no dignity
But I'd trade it willingly
If she would just spend one night next to me.

Love ain't no prom dress.
Love ain't no dance.
Love ain't no cherry bowl smothered in romance.
Yeah, loves a whip
And you're a slave
And it cuts the heart long after the grave.

There ain't no fairy.
There's just this tale.
No one was buying so they put it up on sale.
And now you see,
Nothing's for free.
There's plenty of fish as well as sharks in the deep blue sea.

Over--my dreams are over.
I tried to hold her.
But now I just owe her.
What's left of me?
I know I've no dignity
But I'd trade it willingly
If she would just spend one night next to me.
