Ritual Union

Ritual union's got me in trouble again

I was wondering of a white dress

And the mistress, and a spirit holding my hand

Love's sinking in the sand

Petals falling on demand

My feet are running like the wind

I'm sorry, boy, that we sinned

Love is not like they say

A lie that it's hard to make it stay

I drowned my feelings in the sea

Then dried out over on the beach

Ritual union's got me in trouble again

I was wondering of a white dress

And the mistress, and a spirit holding my hand

Mother, tell me how it is

I know you've been through all of this

You ran away so many times

Your kids, your heart, a couple of dimes

Love is not like they say

A lie that it's hard to make it stay

It drowns my feelings in the sea

I dried up over on the beach

Ritual union's got me in trouble again

I was wondering of a white dress

And the mistress, and a spirit holding my hand

Ritual union's got me in trouble again

I was wondering of a white dress

And the mistress, and a spirit holding my hand
