The Decemberists - Long White Veil Lyrics
Official




Every night, a dream's the same
Every time I speak her name
Black and shiny eyes appear
In a long white veil
If only I could touch her skin
If only I could lie within
If only I could see her face
'Neath the long white veil
Long white veil

I married her, I carried her
On the very same day I buried her
In the cemetery plot by her mother
Though she never gave a thought to her mother
But she looked so pale
In that long white veil
Long white veil, long white veil
Long white veil, long white veil

And how when she fell in with me
I stole her from the Canary's
We pitch along the harbor side
In our wind-filled sails
But now when all the stars go dim
Something starts its crawling in
All I can do is hush and wait
For that long white veil
Long white veil

I married her, I carried her
On the very same day I ferried her
'Cross the channel in the cold, dark water
And in the evening how a chill had caught her
And she looked so pale
In our lateen sails
Like a long white veil
Long white veil, long white veil
Long white veil
