"The Bay" lyrics
"The Bay"
A dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
Said "Betty, she's fine
And Betty, she's tall
And Betty makes love
Like no woman at all"
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same
So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep
But oh my eyes
Making fools out of me
They say love is blindness
I can no longer see
Now I've no more to give
And I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay
But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
