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)
