Take my arms, they call to you Drape your breast in lace The evening sun is on the run Nightfall on the chase Roses blush and bow their heads Their petals put to shame Compared with thee, but thistle weed A scourge upon the plains A scourge upon the plains I've seen you kneel beside the aisle Thrown silver at your feet I've seen the bells in steeples swell And swarm a wretch like me I've loved you as the years have passed I'd love you lithe or lame Your fate you've said is with me wed Our graves to share my name Our graves to share my name But, forgive me, 'cause I've heard your eyes They talk behind your back They whispered of a faded love And ghosts of loves once had So, would you like, for one more night To share your soul with me I'll curse the sun when the morning comes For we shall never be We shall never be The train arrives at half past five I'll be there when it comes I'll get those gears to dry my tears Hear them rattle, hear them hum And when I'm lowered into the grave My heart shall no more beat Leave a bottle of bread up by my head Rye whiskey at my feet Rye whiskey at my feet
