Young Bride - Midlake

My young bride

Why are your shoulders like that

Of a tired old woman

Like a tired old woman?

My young bride

Why are your fingers like that

Of the hedge in winter

Of the hedge in winter?

Polonaise in winter

Snowshoes and hunters

Carried the goods in for you

My young bride

Why aren’t you moving at all

Helps to make the day seem shorter

Helps to make the day seem shorter

My young bride

Why aren’t you keeping with you

All the ones who really love you

All the ones who really love you?

Polonaise in winter

Snowshoes and hunters

Carried the goods in for you

Darkness and forest

Grant you the longest

Face made for porridge and stew
