And her mouth was as red   As the fresh fallen snow   The day she told me again   How another man's love   Was as white as a raven's   While mine was blacker than blood   How another man's love   Was as white as a raven's   While mine was blacker than blood      And I asked if she knew for sure   That the rain in her eyes   Would never run dry   'Til the flames of the sun   Ran like ice in her veins   And froze the door to her heart   'Til the flames of the sun   Ran like ice in her veins   And froze the door to her heart      And she told me the last time   As if for the first time   If the world turns away from the sun   Then nothing and never   Will always be true   And that she would forever be mine   Then nothing and never   Will always be true   And that she would forever be mine      And I swear that the sun   In her eyes turned to stone   Her dress was as white as the moon   The priest told me nothing   And no one was true   And that she would forever be mine   The priest told me nothing   And no one was true   And that she would forever be mine      Oh the blackened sole   Of her small bright shoe   Has left its mark   In the long white hall   Of my heart
