I’m waiting on our wedding day
When we can finally be as one
And all my longing will be done that’s what I say
And all my longing will be done

I’ll wear a dress of snowy white
Find me a shawl of borrowed blue
You should be looking fancy too your coat and tie
Darling you’ll be looking fancy too

Ain’t no tragedy gonna hinder me
I’m set to have our wedding day

I still remember when we met
How you had longing in your eyes
Promised me a love that never dies that’s what you said
Promised me a love that never dies

Ain’t no tragedy gonna hinder me
I’m set to have our wedding day
Ain’t no war machine gonna take you ‘way from me
We’re gonna have this wedding day

(instr. Verse)

and tho’ our wedding bed is cold
and tho it smells of earth and clay
I know they will mark our wedding day with marble stone
I know they will mark our wedding day with dust and bone
Darlin’ we shall have our wedding day
