Wedding Dress Lyrics
Mark Lanegan
Lyrics
Would you put on that long white gown and burn like there's no more tomorrows?
Will you walk with me underground and forgive all my sicknesses and my sorrows?
Will you be shamed if I shake like I'm dyin'
When I fall to my knees and I'm crying?
Will you visit me where my body rests
Will you put on that long white dress?
Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada
Ba dadada, da, badadada
The end could be soon, we'd better rent a room so you can love me
Will you put on that long white dress while I burn when there's no more tomorrows?
Will you remember me through the years I'll miss and forget all the sadnesses and the sorrows?
Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada
Ba dadada, da, badadada
We got married in a fever, now you love me
Get a room, so you can love me
