ritual unions
got me
in trouble again
I was wonderin
how the white dress
and the mistress
and his spirit
are holdin my hand

love's sinking in the sand
pedals falling on demand
my feet are runnin like the wind
I'm sorry, boy that we sinned
love is not like they say
a light is hard to make it stay
I drown my feelings in the sea
then dry out over on the beach

ritual unions
got me
in trouble again
I was wonderin
how the white dress
and the mistress
and his spirit
are holdin 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 dimes
love is not like they say
a light is hard to make it stay
I drown my feelings in the sea
then dry up over on the beach

ritual unions
got me
in trouble again
I was wonderin
how the white dress
and the mistress
and his spirit
are holdin my hand
