Bill Callahan - Watch Me Get Married lyrics
[Bill Callahan - Watch Me Get Married lyrics]
That much I can see
Like distant members of my
Distant twinkling blue family
Watching me get married to the immensity
The orchid in the canyon is the one for me
As the lion returned to the family crest
The shepherd took off his sheepskin vest
And the children came pouring and
Pouring out of my chest
Oh, all of the lives I had carried
Just staggered me, staggered me, staggered me
How joyous to know
What we knew was out there wanting to
Finally came home
Let's spend a light year together
Oh, I know it's a distance
From here to the stars
Watching us get married to the immensity
The orchid in the canyon is the one for me
