White Veil, tonight I will lay you down White Veil, I said tonight I will lay you down You're wedding gown babe, a shroud of silk and lace Make up your eyes babe, your pale and silent face Sad walk at midnight, the grove just out of town White Veil, I said tonight I will lay you down Young love, you played me for a fool Love lies, could not believe your love was true I found you dreaming, a blush upon your face A young boy lay bleeding, a freckled dying face I held you dying, your warm blood flowing down White Veil, I said tonight I will lay you down Sad work by moonlight, cry without a sound One last kiss baby, and then I'll drag you underground Tonight I will lay you down
