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
