Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
In the summer of my wedding
As the corn burned in the field
Oh, I lay down for my baby
And let the sweet smoke stain my heels

Well, I lay there till the midnight
When the dogs, they run through town
And I rose up just to listen
And I never lay back down

Then the morning, it came upon me
And I set my soul to search
From the tall grass down the main road
To the stained glass at the church

Lord my shepard help me pray
Though I left my heart to stray
Though I left my heart untrue
I can follow, I do, I do

And I can name them in my dreaming
I can set my soul to rest
I can chain them to my body
Let them settle at my breast

Now see them coming to my wedding
Where I will teach them not to stray
Oh, they'll carry my salvation
Oh, they'll carry me away
In the summer of my wedding   As the corn burned in the field   Oh, I lay down for my baby   And let the sweet smoke stain my heels      Well, I lay there till the midnight   When the dogs, they run through town   And I rose up just to listen   And I never lay back down      Then the morning, it came upon me   And I set my soul to search   From the tall grass down the main road   To the stained glass at the church      Lord my shepard help me pray   Though I left my heart to stray   Though I left my heart untrue   I can follow, I do, I do      And I can name them in my dreaming   I can set my soul to rest   I can chain them to my body   Let them settle at my breast      Now see them coming to my wedding   Where I will teach them not to stray   Oh, they'll carry my salvation   Oh, they'll carry me away
