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!

Mother, tell me how it is

I know you''ve been through all of this

You ran away so many times

Your kids, 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!

Ritual union''s got me in trouble again

I was wonderin'' of a white dress

And the mistress

And a spirit holding my hand!
