Child Bride - CocoRosie

It’s hard to tell

This is my wedding night

I’m dressed and ready

Despite my innocence

It’s hard to tell

Whose little girl am I

The man with the black hat

Will take me home tonight

I wash my body

Five years grown

He promised father

Leave me alone

Hope not too lonely

We pull away

Down a dusty road

Family waving

Hope not too lonely

I watch the grass blow

Through the window

I’m a good grass widow

I’m a grass widow

News from the sparrow

My friendly fellow

They get along

Just fine without me

They’re never lonely

They’re never lonely

I watch the flowers grow

Outside my window

I’m a good grass widow

I’m a grass widow
