Laura Lied - Grey Gown Lyrics

The open sky
One night in June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon

You'll never know
What you don't see
What I can I show
Who will I be

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

And I met you there at midnight
Holding everything I owned
While the moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

We made a pact
You gave your vow
Some perfect act
Just take a bow

My eyes were full of hope
And yours were full of sin
But I didn't see the rope
And I can't recall the end

I was standing in the starlight
Holding everything I owned
The moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was like an abscess
Too inclined to mean me harm

You remember dear
Every tale you told
When all the world was green

It is quiet here
Where the earth is cold
No one could hear me scream

But you carried me
Through the field of gold
That shimmered like a dream

And you buried me
With the hate you hold
Where all the world is green

The open sky
This night in June
You have returned
Beneath the moon

What I can I show
Who do you see
And will you know
That it is me

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

I am buried in my grey gown
I will wait for all of time
Till the wickedness you found
Will call you back and make you mine

What I can I know
Who will I be
You down below
Me finally free

The open sky
One night in June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon
