Artist: The Decemberists Album: Her Majesty Song: The Bachelor And The Bride Capo 1st 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, I will box your ears And leave you here stripped bare 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 Do his calluses 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, Stripped bare, stripped bare, 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 (x2) 1
