Lyrics

Lover, tell me if you can Who's gonna buy the wedding bands? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the rivers'll sing along And they're gonna break their banks for us And with their gold, be generous All a-flashing in the pan All to fashion for your hand The river's gonna give us the wedding bands Lover, tell me if you're able Who's gonna lay you the wedding table? Times being what they are Dark and getting darker all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the tree's gonna sing along And they're gonna bend their branches down To lay their fruit upon the ground The almond and the apple And the sugar from the maple The tree's gonna lay the wedding table So when you sing your song The one you're working on Spring will come again? Yes Why don't you sing it then? It isn't finished Sing it You wanna take me home? Yes Sing the song La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la la la La la la la la la la How'd you do that? I don't know The song's not finished though Even so, it can do this? I know You have to finish it! Lover, tell me when we're wed Who's gonna make the wedding bed? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the bird's gonna sing along And they'll come flying from all around To lay their feathers on the ground And we'll lie down in eiderdown A pillow 'neath our heads The bird's gonna make the wedding bed And the tree's gonna lay the wedding table And the river's gonna give us the wedding bands (Hmmmm, hmmmm)
