The vows are made like a halfsung tune
The dreams are laid like the table in the bedsit room
The bedsprings twang like a pizzacato string
And they make love
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing
Could they understand
With marriage blisters all over their hands?
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
The punches land like the rain on a dirty street
The sun goes down like the whiskey bottle by his feet
The tears jing like salt on a wedding ring
And they make love
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over and over their hands?
Over and over their hands?
over and over their
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
