Ritual union's got me in trouble again
I was wonderin' of a white dress
And the mysteries
And a spirit - holding my hand!
Love's sinking in the sand
Petals falling on demand
My feet are running like the wind
I'm sorry - boy, don't sin
Love is not like they say
A lie, that it's hard to make it stay
It drowns my feelings in the sea
I dried out over on the beach
Ritual union's got me in trouble again
I was wonderin' of a white dress
And the mysteries
And a spirit - holding my hand!
Mother, then tell me how it is
I know you've been through all of this
You ran away so many times
Your kid, your heart, a couple of dimes
Love is not like they say
A lie, that it's hard to make it stay
It drowns my feelings in the sea
I dried up over on the beach…
Ritual union's got me in trouble again
I was wonderin' of a white dress
And the mysteries
And a spirit - holding my hand!
