FOREVER TO BE JOINED

lyrics: J. Morse © 1986

The postman comes
But there's nothing there
The sound of drums
Echoes through the air
   And the glitter of cold white gold
   Shines in your weary eyes
   As the morning rays penetrate the windowpane
   You stifle your waking sighs
The alarm clock
Rings and rings and rings
On the nightstand
Just next to you
   As you reach to silence the noise
   A slide, and a tinkle on the wood
   And the king-size bed lies empty
   Just next to you
     Those words come back to haunt you once again:
     'Forever to be joined
     Until death us do part.'
     And it's only your impenetrable pride
     That saves your broken heart
     Once again

The postman arrives
With an empty hand
You seek an entrance
To your promised land
   And the glitter of cold white gold
   Held by a once stronger hand -
   It's only decoration now, the meaning's gone
   Things didn't work out how you planned
The doorbell silent
Nowhere any sound.
Yet still you wait
Hoping she'll return
   But you should know it's hopeless
   You remember how she vanished into air
   And your flaming heart still burns
   Deep within you
     Those words come back to haunt you once again:
     'Forever to be joined
     Until death us do part.'
     And it's only your impenetrable pride
     That saves your broken heart
     Those words come back to haunt you once again:
     'Forever to be joined
     Until death us do part.'
     And it's only your impenetrable pride
     That saves your broken heart
     Once again
