the decemberists - long white veil lyrics

[verse]
every night the dream’s the same
every time i speak her name
black and shiny eyes appear
‘neath the 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!

[chorus]
i married her, i carried her
on the very same day i buried her
in the cemetery plot by her mother
though shе never gave a thought to hеr mother
did she look so pale?
in that long white veil
long white veil
long white veil
long white veil
long white veil!

[verse]
and now when she fell in with me
i stole her from the cannery
we pitched along the harbor side
in our wind+filled sails
now when all the stars go dim
something starts its crawling in
all i can do is hush and wait
for that long white veil
long white veil!
see the decemberists live
get tickets as low as $37
[chorus]
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 a chill had caught her
and she looked so pale
in her lateen sails
like a long white veil
long white veil
long white veil
long white veil
long white veil!
