lyrics

There might be sparrows
there might be gin
there might be horrors
in the lives we live.

The blade might drive
through cheek to bone
and secrets pry
through the grass and the stone.

Picked breasts lie splayed;
two hearts but one spade.
Bleached hands entwine
because I love you and you're mine

'till Death do us
'till Death do us
'till Death do us right.

The mountains cry machinery
into the brine.
Aurora strum their hair,
hanging midnight's chimes.

With rusty fleets
we plough the storm,
bottle up our verses
and chuck them overboard.

You and I; here are we
before, hereafter and in between.
Should the reef or the rip drag us down
at least we're gonna share a little piece of ground

'till Death do us
'till Death do us
'till Death do us right.
