Long White Veil

歌詞

Every night the dream's the same Every time I speak her name Black and shiny eyes appear In a long white veil If only I could touch her skin If only I could lie within If only I could see her face 'Neath the long white veil Long white veil I married her, I carried her On the very same day I buried her In the cemetery plot by her mother Though she never gave a thought to her mother But she looked so pale In that long white veil Long white veil Long white veil Long white veil Long white veil And how when she fell in with me I stole her from the canneries We'd pitch along the harborside In our wind-filled sails But now when all the lights go dim Something starts its crawling in All I can do is hush and wait For that long white veil Long white veil I married her, I carried her On the very same day I ferried her 'Cross the channel in the cold, dark water And in the evening how a chill had caught her And she looked so pale In our lateen sails Like a long white veil Long white veil Long white veil Long white veil
