The Bachelor And The Bride
Colin Meloy

There's a wrinkle in the water

Where we laid our first daughter

And I think the wind blows so sweetly there

Over there


And the windows and the cinders

And the willows in the timbers

The infernal rattling of the rain

Still remains


But I, said the bachelor to the bride

Am not waiting for tonight

No, I will box your ears

And leave you here stripped bare


Hear the corncrakes and the deerhooves

And the sleet rain on the slate roof

A medallion locked inside her hands

In her hands



And his fingers are they telling

Of the barren of her belly

And his callouses cure her furrowed brow

Even now


But I, said the bachelor to the bride

Am not waiting for tonight

No, I will box your ears

And leave you here stripped bare


But I, said the bachelor to the bride

Am not waiting for tonight

No, I will box your ears

And take your tears

And leave you, leave you here

Stripped bare
