Auteurs - The Child Brides lyrics

rate me

When I first saw the child brides <br />

Two bridegroom boys at their side<br />

Genevieve in union with -holy communion<br />

Marianne the younger wife<br />

<br />

And the child brides<br />

Went down to the water<br />

Neptune calls out to his daughters<br />

Throw yourself at the tide<br />

I´ll see you on the other side<br />

<br />

In a loveless marriage - when I was fourteen<br />

All braised knees and black eyes<br />

Then you come round here<br />

With your fancy talk and big ideas<br />

What have you done with our wives<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Bride of Christ, bride of Jesus<br />

Bride of the fish when you´re fathoms down<br />

And the uncles and the brother<br />

With their Sunday suits on<br />

Search the village and towns<br />

But the child brides etc.
