Blood Wedding lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Blood Wedding lyrics Songwriters: Kirwan, Larry; Carlita is waiting down on C & 9th In mantilla and lace and her lover s knife Cries out for revenge, she is silent like a stone Beautiful in her widow s weeds I wait in the darkness forever now alone Too late for any tear shedding While his bride waits down on C & 9th For her blood wedding Why did you have to go out tonight With the full moon in scarlet and his silver knife Waiting for you and the remains of your life Ticking away like some pitiful clock? And I, who could not even be called your wife Safe and home in your bedding And you, the bridegroom off on your way To your blood wedding And the Ukrainian ladies light candles in the street Where his body lay bleeding And the projects are silent, bracing for the heat That must come from your blood wedding Carlita, why do you hate me so much? I long for your body I die for your touch on my burning skin And the smell of your perfume Will always remain on my bed But I died every time you entered his room I could not let him go on living And now you wait down on C & 9th Dying to celebrate your blood wedding I wait in the shadows of C & 9th With my fingers caressing his sacred knife You loved my body, he loved my soul You thought you knew me But what do men know Except my lover whose shape Is etched in chalk on the street Soon to be washed away by the rain While you wait in the darkness Dreading the shock of my knife at your blood wedding And the Ukrainian ladies light candles in the street Where his body lay bleeding And the projects are silent, bracing for the heat That must come from your blood wedding And the Ukrainian ladies light candles in the street Where his body lay bleeding The projects are silent, bracing for the heat That must come from his blood wedding Yeah, oh yeah Oh, yeah, oh song lyrics
