My Dying Bride - A Map of All Our Failures - Deluxe Edition

The Poorest Waltz

Across the cedar-covered river
Within the night that covers them
Up the hill, towards the dark gates
An approach so sweet

Proffer the sightless with wine
Crank the old gramophone

To go up and dance with the blind girls
A secret so holy and dire
To waltz in the arms of innocence
Hushed delights from the choir

Shadows long and playful
Cast with broken old candles
Gowns worn and stressed
Yet graceful (tired old sandals)

Strike up the scratchy old music
Tonight they won't dance alone

Alas, the music does fade
Back to the (village, they creep)
And leave the sanatorium
Its bars and rules (just so)

To dance with the blind girls
With the blind girls
