Smog - White Ribbon lyrics

I went down to the harbour To meet my new bride She said "I'll wear a white ribbon tied high" She wore a white ribbon tied high on her thigh Dark clouds on the horizon A few spatters on her dress And with my coat bu*toned up to her throat From the hotel balcony She stared out towards the sea From the hotel balcony she stared out away from me And if there's one thing I know It's when not to speak She came lay beside me Touched my hair soft as a breeze I was just like a child On christmas day But with the strength of a man And just like snow Falling into hot milk That little woman disappeared Against my skin When I woke in the morning I walked up towards the balcony
