ritual unions
got me
in trouble again
i was wonderin
how the white dress
and the mistress
and his spirit
are holdin my hand

love's sinking in the sand
pedals falling on demand
my feet [bad word] like the wind
i'm sorry, boy that we sinned

love is not like they say
a light is hard to make it stay
i drown my feelings in the sea
then dry out over on the beach

ritual unions
got me
in trouble again
i was wonderin
how the white dress
and the mistress
and his spirit
are holdin my hand

mother tell me how it is

i know you've been through all of this
you ran away so many times
your kids
your heart
a couple dimes

love is not like they say
a light is hard to make it stay
i drown my feelings in the sea
then dry up over on the beach

ritual unions
