Be Honest, Ruth Bryan! - The Affair lyrics

Behind the house is a graveyard I go there to think In the mornings it's quiet I guess even the dead need sleep Don't tell me you love me Even if it's true I'd rather you were lying When I know she waits for you Go down to the river Where your sister washed her hair You say my name in a whisper Bind us together If you you see me comin' Across the open land When I tell you that I know Don't make a desperate stand So run Before my dad gets his gun This is no time to act brave And we Oh, we are not free (We) are the ties we make Swore an oath at the altar Before you ever met me You told me all boys falter But you promised eternity But I could never love you When you left your ring behind So go home to the city Go home to your wife So run Before my dad gets his gun This is no time to act brave And we Oh, we are not free We are the ties we make So run Before I get a gun There's no one here you could save And we Oh, we are not free We are the ties we break
