We married him on fire
Like the nuns who marry God
And we jumped out of the airplane
And trusted we would fall
Then we traveled through the mountains
With our bodies weighted down
By the perfect lovely vision
In the absence of all sound
Though he was a faithful tailor
Our deeds we must confess
We loved so many others
Despite our wedding dress
So in the late night on the fender
Of a car he loved to drive
When we took it on a bender
When we took it for a ride

We wound up thirsty in this jail cell
But we've heard he said it here
To excavate this holy well
And pour it crystal clear
Then we filled our cup with silence
And the words to keep in time
For the song that he would sing us
As forgiveness for our pride

Oh love it's true you're golden throated
And your history is long
And you've had so many lovely creatures
Occupy your songs
So may we take you to the alter
We'll feed you bread and wine
And be swimming in the fountain with you
'Till the end of time
