Lyrics

John Cale — On A Wedding Anniversary

The sky is torn across

This ragged anniversary of two

Who moved for three years in tune

Down the long walks of their vows

Now their love, now their love lies a loss

And Love and his patients roar on a chain

A chain (chain)

Every true, from every true or crater carrying cloud
