lyrics

come sit by the fire
warm you through to bones
take this mug of ale through you
and dont be alone

watch the flames a flicker
uncurl from the wood
its the sun that we saw yesterday
returning for the good

sorrow is burning in my heart
tomorrow may it never start

i know of your sorrow
my wife three winters passed
dry your tired weeping eyes
the morrows coming fast

i live beyond the river
'mong the yellow-box tree
soon our shires shall meet
with burning iron pulled from the sea

sorrow is burning in my heart
tomorrow may it never start

go to him at dawning
place roses where he lay
we'll get the priest to ring the bells
to keep the ghosts away

come sit by the fire
keep yourself from cold
one thing we are certain of
is death comes to us all

sorrow is burning in my heart
tomorrow may it never start

Honeymoon Bridge is the harmony-folk duo hailing from a ghost town in rural Victoria. The widows sing stories of mourning, haunted heaths and the rituals of life in isolated country.
