The Bride Who Came to Yellow Sky
Came from a far, far country And lived in the sauna 'Til thaw We died in the delta The following fall
Built a cabin of conifers By the bend in the river With plans for a shed And stable God willing if we're able
Strung wire for sheep We could not afford Pumped an organ And prayed to the Lord Every Sunday In a tent
No one even remembers my name The bride who came to Yellow Sky
We perished in anonymity And drowned by the shore One death is a tragedy A thousand are a bore
Shared a quilt Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And scurvy and scabies Ate fatback and beans But no greens A maiden blossoms in her teens
Pennyroyal tea It's not the time for me All's for naught The corn will rot In its crib
Embers spark and Leave ash on the hearth So we died And were planted and mixed with earth Like breathing dust to dearth
No one even remembers my name The bride who came to Yellow Sky
We perished in anonymity And drowned by the shore One death is a tragedy A thousand are a bore
