Lyrics
Phantom Bride
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was a shy girl from the lonely street
She had no job to do and no friends to meet
She'd sit in silence in her rented room
Dream of her childhood and invented truths
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
He was a good boy from the upside of town
Said he could treat her right said he could win her round
Her morning sickness and the kick inside
The phantom kisses of the phantom bride
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
No more lies
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears
Let me wipe away the tears
