Through the Shades

Forty-four more hours and she’ll be yours

Lain like flowers, she was dour on the floor


One less wind did I defy

Thrown from my chest, I was blown West to her boundary line


Go down, go down, let’s go pound on her door

To have her sing solemn and softly like before

Go down, go down, let’s go pound on her door

To have her sing solemn and softly like before


What have I come to be?

And what’ll she have now for to grieve


Still on my oath I’ll have her tied

To my feet, but I’d rather greet her as my bride


Go down, go down, let’s go pound on her door

To have her sing solemn and softly like before


Oh and that red set through the shades

Showin’ that bed set still unmade

Her nails, her claws tattoo this beast

Just minutes later, I would lay her to sleep

Go down, go down, let’s go pound on her door

To have her sing solemn and softly like before

Go down, go down, let’s go pound on her door

To have her sing solemn and softly like before
