And her mouth was as red as the fresh fallen snow The day she told me again How another man's love was as white as a raven While mine was blacker than blood How another man's love was as white as a raven While mine was blacker than blood And I asked if she knew for sure that the rain in her eyes Would never run dry 'Til the flames of the sun ran like ice in her veins And froze the door to her heart 'Til the flames of the sun ran like ice in her veins And froze the door to her heart And she told me the last time as if for the first time If the world turns away from the sun Then nothing and never will always be true That she would forever be mine Then nothing and never will always be true That she would forever be mine And I swear that the sun in her eyes turned to stone Her dress was as white as the moon The priest told me nothing, and no one was true That she would forever be mine The priest told me nothing, and no one was true That she would forever be mine Oh the blackened sole of her small bright shoe Has left it's mark in the long white hall of my heart
