I went down to the harbor to meet my new bride
She said, "I'll wear a white ribbon tied high, tied high"
Well, she wore a white ribbon tied high on her thigh
Dark clouds on the horizon, a few spatters on her dress
And with my coat buttoned up to her throat
From clear down past her knee
From the hotel balcony, she stared out towards the sea
From the hotel balcony, she stared out away from me
And if there's one thing I know, it's when not to speak
She came lay beside me, touched my hair soft as a breeze
She came lay beside me, touched my hair soft as a breeze
I was just like a child on Christmas day, but with the strength of a man
Soon just like snow falling into hot milk
That little woman disappeared against my skin
When I woke in the morning, I walked up towards the balcony
