Anaïs Mitchell - Wedding Song lyrics

EURYDICE Lover, tell me if you can Who's gonna buy the wedding bands? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time ORPHEUS Lover, when I sing my song All the rivers sing along And they're gonna break their banks for me To lay their gold around my feet All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand The rivers gonna give us the wedding bands EURYDICE Lover, tell me, if you're able Who's gonna lay the wedding table? Times being what they are Dark and getting darker all the time ORPHEUS Lover, when I sing my song All the trees gonna sing along And bend their branches down to me To lay their fruit around my feet The almond and the apple And the sugar from the maple The trees gonna lay the wedding table EURYDICE Lover, tell me, when we're wed Who's gonna make the wedding bed? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time ORPHEUS Lover, when I sing my song All the birds gonna sing along And they'll come flying round to me To lay their feathers at my feet And we'll lie down in eiderdown, A pillow 'neath our heads The birds gonna make the wedding bed And the trees gonna lay the wedding table And the rivers gonna give us the wedding bands
