Lyrics
This is the day I shall be wed As I wait my thoughts are dead They lie stretched on the rack of love Embalmed like so many dirt-filled gloves And each stiff finger remembers Nothing of the cold black embers It once caressed with so much care As if each branch would lead somewhere Now the fingers of every thought Cannot remember what they sought This is the day I shall be wed From my heart all fears have fled My heart alone is alive today A living, beating lump of clay Sustaining life with every pulse Incapable of feeling false Doubt cast out from the heart of life The tell-tail heart that found my wife I love her though my thoughts are still When I say I do I will This is the day I shall be wed This is the day I shall be wed This is the day This is the day This is the day Words and Music 1981, 2024 by Jack Morris
