Pioneer Bride-Matt the Electrician

[00:22.520]When I built this town, [00:26.030]Burned the old one down [00:29.680]And covered myself with the ashes. [00:35.590]I was head to foot [00:39.300]All black with soot [00:42.340]Waiting for the water to make me. [00:52.890]And it rained and rained [00:56.890]All the clouds could contain [01:00.570]And the sound was thunder inside me. [01:06.760]And I held my ground [01:10.480]While the sky fell down, [01:13.190]And my eyes could only stay open. [01:22.200]Oh, be my pioneer bride. [01:27.800]I know you'll be gone with the morning, [01:33.580]But stay for now, while the sun has gone down [01:38.730]And the night will be forever be turning. [02:07.060]You came in on the breeze, [02:11.620]Shook all the trees, [02:15.400]Rattled the roots and foundations. [02:21.090]And I changed all the locks, [02:25.520]And piled the rocks, [02:28.110]Tried to make sense of the signs. [02:35.270]And I scoured the stones [02:39.680]For fragments of bones [02:43.550]For the graveyards of those gone before us. [02:49.670]And I read all the stars that I collected in jars [02:56.930]Waited for someone to save me. [03:05.740]Oh, be my pioneer bride. [03:11.440]I know you'll be gone with the morning, [03:17.640]But stay for now, while the sun has gone down [03:22.910]And the night will be forever be turning. [03:52.720]You were crazy sometimes, [03:57.400]Dirty and kind. [04:01.380]I don't know how much I should trust you. [04:07.470]But here in this place, I see only your face, [04:15.540]And forever will have to be right now.
