Young Bride Lyrics

Midlake Young Bride

"My young bride,
Why are your shoulders like that
of a tired old woman?
Like a tired old woman?

My young bride,
why are your fingers like that
of the hedge in winter?
Of the hedge in winter?

Polonaise and winter
snowshoes and hunters,
carried the curtail for you..
darkness and forests grant you
the longest
face made from porridge and stew..

My young bride,
why aren't you moving at all,
helps to make the day seem shorter..
helps to make the day seem shorter..

My young bride,
Why aren't you keeping with you
all the ones who really love you,
all the ones who really love you..?

Polonaise and winter
snowshoes and hunters,
carried the curtail for you..
darkness and forests grant you
the longest
face made from porridge and stew.."
