ritual unions
got me
love's sinking in the sand

pedals falling on demand
my feet are runnin like the wind
i'm sorry, boy that we sinned


love is not like they say
a light is hard to make it stay

i drown my feelings in the sea
then dry out over on the beach


ritual unions
got me
in trouble again

i was wonderin
how the white dress
and the mistress

and his spirit
are holdin 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 dimes


love is not like they say
a light is hard to make it stay

i drown my feelings in the sea
then dry up over on the beach


ritual unions
got me
in trouble again

i was wonderin
how the white dress
and the mistress

and his spirit are holdin my hand
