Ritual Union

Ritual union's got me in trouble again

I was wonderin' of a white dress

And the mistress

And a spirit - holding my hand!

Love's sinking in the sand

Petals falling on demand

My feet are running like the wind

I'm sorry, boy - that we sinned

Love is not like they say

A lie, that it's hard to make it stay

It drowns my feelings in the sea

I dried out over on the beach

Ritual union's got me in trouble again

I was wonderin' of a white dress

And the mistress

And a spirit - holding my hand!

Father, tell me how it is

I know you've been through all of this

You ran away so many times

Your kid, your heart, a couple of dimes

Love is not like they say

A lie, that it's hard to make it stay

It drowns my feelings in the sea

I dried up over on the beach…

Ritual union's got me in trouble again

I was wonderin' of a white dress

And the mistress

And a spirit - holding my hand!
