Wedding Lyrics

"Wedding"By Tom RappThe aisle it was long and darkGarbage cans kept the watchThe chapel walls were old and linedThe streetlamp lit its mouthThe altar was the lesser half of an old forgotten couchThe bride stumbled nervouslyA box fell in her flightShe cursed her trusting foolishness for leavingThe sanctuary of the lightA crumbled linen handkerchiefA little girl's frightThe groom followed slowly and the wine dripped from his chinPanting that the holy doors would part and let him inHis candle burned with whiteness, stiff and violentThe sound of breath in darknessGave away the brideHis eyes said: I am hte bodyAnd her's said: I am the bloodAnd as the candle pushed belowExploding wax and fearThe handkerchief fell from her handsAnd as usual there were tears
