lyrics

THE WEDDING GUEST

Come one-by-one,
in ribbons they're paired and bound
leaving the cynic tied to his time
in solitary
Each lonely night whispering:
You're not as young as you been...

Each season's invitations arrive
in envelopes of white
with a script so nice and
nearly illegible
and so
it comes to haunt me again
this piece I know I'm missing...

In black-and-white I stand
These confining colors
never could be mine,
rigid their design.
Expectation's friend,
love be in your favor
and may it long be true
when you say I do / I do...

Come two-by-two,
they're marching in common time
held forth before the altar of pride
and ceremony
Already pictures unfold...
Some life that I'll never know...

In black-and-white I stand
These confining colors
never could be mine,
rigid their design.
Expectation's friend,
love be in your favor
and may it long be true
when you say I do / I do...
