East Enders Wives Lyrics

We met by chance by the row river side
Our soft fire danced as our tea leaves dried
She hatched our plans in the atmospheric tides
Said, "Let's give up sacrifice next lent
Well, that joke's long, it's been spent"

so as the fool on the bagpipes played
We kept cool in the parasol shade
Your thumb on my page at my tender age
East enders wives

And hidden in the boxthorn vine
We grew old as the foxtailed pine
Sheep in the fold, gilding our gold
sipping our milk and water lives.

She packed our bags some arbitrary times
And waved like a flag from the white star line
unmoored, unwell, though i seldom elegize
We've both been untrue but I'm still counting on you
Like an invisible rosary

As the past and all plans are undone
Slowly sank like a shipwrecked sun
Bridges and boats, burning them both
Burned up the sky

Choirs sang as the black birch fell,
Sorrow rang like a church-yard bell
An axe to the trees, smoke for the bees,
And all our dads died
