Future Bride

歌詞

So I ran but still arrived too late Pushed by duty, pulled by fate Heart's fixings strained to take the weight Of what had been so long denied The future bride Great current swept me out to sea Firm footings fell away from me Well, I was drowning in my own sincerity Dreaming she'd pluck me from the tide The future bride Training our optics On the faintest of objects Weighing our prospects Concerning all aspects Changing up tactics When she's up to her old tricks Making up stories that don't scan at all So some to fire and some to dust And some to everything that must And back up the hill like Sisyphus Towards that quickening of the light The future bride, yeah Training our optics On the faintest of objects Weighing our prospects Concerning all aspects Changing our tactics When she's up to her old tricks Making up stories that don't scan at all Some say that hope is just a bluff Like candlelight to draw the moth That our best is never good enough But one look tells me she don't buy it The future bride, yeah Between Pegasus and Cassiopeia More stars than trees in Canada And amidst them pale Andromeda With her arms stretched open wide The future bride
