Three Questions

"Three Questions" by: Bonnie Prince Billy

Say I found a piece of rock

And put it in my pocket

And for the day that we are wed

I put it in a locket

Which is to hang around your neck

As long as you see fit

Well, tell me, o my love

Do you think that you would wear it?

And on the day that threatens

That the earth might open up

The birds have stopped their singing

And the insects have shut up

And all that's left between us

Is some al-homdillillilie

Oh would you split it with me, baby

So that I wouldn't die?

And after all these things

Is a question I must ask

When everyone has called me out

And said I am the worst

And asked for voices on my side

My love, would you sing first?

Would you say, "He's okay,

He's better than the rest ;

He's innocent in god's eyes

And in mine, he is the best"?
