That Was My Veil Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

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
