The Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned)

[Verse 1]
Margaret, array the rocks
Around the hull before we're sinking
A million stones, a million bones
A million holes within the chinking

[Verse 2]
And painting rings around your eyes
These peppered holes so filled with crying
A whisper weighed upon the tattered down
Where you and I were lying

[Verse 3]
Tell me now, tell me this
A forest's son, a river's daughter
A willow on the will-o'-wisp
Our ghosts will wander all of the water

[Verse 4]
So let's be married here today
These rushing waves to bear our witness
And we will lie like river stones
Rolling only where it takes us

[Chorus]
But I pulled you and I called you here (Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?)
And I caught you and I brought you here (Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?)
These hazards of love
Never more will trouble us

[Verse 5]
Oh Margaret, the lapping waves
Are licking quietly at our ankles
Another bow, another breath
This brilliant chill's come for the shackle

[Verse 6]
With this long last rush of air
We speak our vows and starry whispers
When the waves came crashing down
He closed his eyes and softly kissed her

[Chorus]
But I pulled you and I called you here (Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?)
And I caught you and I brought you here (Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?)
These hazards of love
Never more will trouble us

[Refrain]
And these hazards of love
Never more will trouble us
