Carsie Blanton - Wedding Song lyrics

rate me

This morning you sat in a kitchen chair

remembering the life that had led you there

the beauty that saved you and gave you the gift of despair

how the cost of lost love made you deaf to the things that could heal you

how it all came down to the day when you held him as close as you could

but his body was heavy as wood

and it hurt you to go

but you knew he could no longer feel you

and all of the joy in you turned to stone

left you a specter of flesh and bone

and you had to submit to the sadness of staying alone

but the anger you felt was a satellite

and shot through the atmosphere burning bright

left you exhausted and softened, too tired for spite

and one thing led to another and one day followed the last

and it all came down to the day when he held you as close you cared

and your body was lighter than air

and pure as the rain as you emptied your pain out into the past

and all of the joy you'd been frightened of rose like a halo to linger above

and you had to submit to the sweetness of staying in love

so open your arms to what love we'll give

say thanks for the good life you've come to live

for the sorrow that (?) us and shows us the strength to forgive

(Thanks to Ashley for these lyrics)
