Behind the Lace
She stood before the altar
All white and pure and chaste
She paused between her vows
And blushed behind the lace
And somehow it protects her
It keeps the world at bay
A barrier between them
A veil and her bouquet
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
She stood behind the curtain
The pain her fingers traced
Tears and blood and hatred there
Hidden by the lace
She packed her bag to leave him
But she was too afraid
So she dries her eyes and stays inside
Until the bruises fade
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
She stands at his graveside
Her heart begins to race
She keeps her anger deep inside
And covers up her face
Another veil to hide her
And this one all in black
Her mourning short, she soon discards
The widow's funeral hat
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
All white and pure and chaste
She paused between her vows
And blushed behind the lace
And somehow it protects her
It keeps the world at bay
A barrier between them
A veil and her bouquet
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
She stood behind the curtain
The pain her fingers traced
Tears and blood and hatred there
Hidden by the lace
She packed her bag to leave him
But she was too afraid
So she dries her eyes and stays inside
Until the bruises fade
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
She stands at his graveside
Her heart begins to race
She keeps her anger deep inside
And covers up her face
Another veil to hide her
And this one all in black
Her mourning short, she soon discards
The widow's funeral hat
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
And no-one knows, 'cause no-one goes
And no-one sees her face
And no-one sees the tear that falls
Behind the lace
