Lyrics That Was My Veil - John Parish, PJ Harvey

That Was My Veil

It starts at daylight
I see him before my sad eyes
I hear him breathing
Oh lover, need you to lead me No never thought that you’d leave
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
No words can heal my heart
Inside I’m broken, now it’s done
Was she a pretty girl?
Does she have pretty hair?
Was she soft spoken?
Was there a love there?
That was my veil
That was my time
Once held secret
But now lies
Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies
Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies, lies
