lyrics

You were my first
I was your first
And we got married
In a winter church

She was a girl
He was a boy
And they made love
Like the winter stories

They made light
And they made love
And they made a girl
Sent from up above.

This girl grew strong
While her dad grew weak
But she did not know
That the voices speak

And he grew darker, darker, darker in her day
And the light grew thicker, thicker, thicker, in his way
And we grew farther, farther, farther in his state
And he grew darker, darker, darker, in his day.

You were my first
I was your first
And we got married
In a winter church

The voices formed
From within your brain
But I saw the light
As your smile grew faint.

And you grew darker, darker, darker in her day
And the light grew thicker, thicker, thicker, in your way
And we grew farther, farther, farther in your state
And you grew darker, darker, darker, in your day.
