Lover, tell me if you can Who's gonna buy the wedding bands? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the rivers will sing along And they're gonna break their banks for us And with their gold be generous All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand The rivers gonna give us the wedding bands Lover, tell me, if you're able Who's gonna lay the wedding table? Times being what they are Dark and getting darker all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the trees gonna sing along And they're gonna bend their branches down To lay their fruit upon the ground The almond and the apple And the sugar from the maple The trees gonna lay the wedding table So when you sing your song The one your working on Spring will come again? Yes Why dont you sing it then? It isn't finished Sing it You wanna take me home? Yes Sing the song La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la How'd you do that? I don't know The songs not finished though Even so it can do this? I know You have to finish it Lover, tell me, when we're wed Who's gonna make the wedding bed? Times being what they are Hard and getting harder all the time Lover, when I sing my song All the birds gonna sing along And they'll come flying from all around To lay their feathers on the ground And we'll lie down in eiderdown, A pillow 'neath our heads The birds gonna make the wedding bed And the trees gonna lay the wedding table And the rivers gonna give us the wedding bands
