Cowboy Junkies - A Bride's Price Lyrics

I was forced to pay a bride's price
I couldn't look the other way.
She hooked me with her "f*ck me" eyes,
They still haunt me to this day.

She says, "only you can know these secrets
Buried deep beneath my skin, only your tongue
Can uncover them."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah

In a room as cold as Winter
I explored her with my hands.
She said, "darling you must forgive, in order to understand".

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah

My breathe it slowly left me
I snaked my way inside.
The next thing that I knew
You were not lying by my side.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah

In the end we find a single door
And all the things we should have done.
Piled high on all the surfaces,
Fears, excuses given.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaah
