At The Altar
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.
You used to pain pictures, and colour your hair
Remember the stories we'd share
We used to sing badly, at the piano but lately time isn't there
Cuz we left our beautiful lives at the altar
Lost our keys, and our looks, and our friends.
And made those vows with our toes in the waterfall
Please give my love to the morgue
The further we travel, the less that we saw.
We'd anchored our feet to the floor.
The more that you say it, rolls off the tongue
But it just doesn't chime anymore
Coz we left our beautiful lives at the altar
Lost our keys, and our looks, and our friends.
And made those vows with our toes in the waterfall.
Please give my love to the morgue
Maybe our hearts were too young,
Maybe they're chasing impatient someone left
Maybe our hearts were too numb to have recognised it
Cuz we left our beautiful lives at the altar
Lost our keys, and our looks, and our friends.
And made those vows with our toes in the waterfall.
Please give my love to the morgue.
