Ritual Union

[Em]Ritual union’s got me in trouble a[G]gain [D]
[Em]I was wonderin’ of a white dress
And the mistress
And a spirit holding my [G]hand [D]

[G]Love’s sinking in the sand
[Em]Petals falling on demand
[C]My feet are running like the wind
[G]I’m sorry, boy that we sinned
Love is not like they say
[Em]A lie, that it’s hard to make it stay
[C]It drowns my feelings in the sea
[G]I dried out over on the beach

Ritual union’s got me in trouble again
I was wonderin’ of a white dress
And the mistress
And a spirit holding my hand!

Father, tell me how it is
I know you’ve been through all of this
You ran away so many times
Your kid, your heart, a couple of dimes
Love is not like they say
A lie, that it’s hard to make it stay
It drowns my feelings in the sea
I dried up over on the beach

Ritual union’s got me in trouble again
I was wonderin’ of a white dress
And the mistress
And a spirit holding my hand

Ritual union’s got me in trouble again
I was wonderin’ of a white dress
And the mistress
And a spirit holding my hand
