The Bay Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

A dead man came calling my name and in need 

Said betty you're my girl 

The strongest I've seen 

But oh my heart is heading to break 

They say God forgives 

But I can't learn the same 

Said betty she's fine 

And betty she's tall 

And betty makes love 

Like no woman at all 

But oh my heart is heading to break 

They say God forgives 

But I can't learn the same 

So I gave him my time 

And I gave him my peace 

And I gave him my heart 

Gave it to keep 

But oh my eyes making fools out of me 

They say love is blindness 

I can no longer see 

Now I've no more to give 

And I've no more to say 

And the stars shine less bright now 

Over this dead man's bay 

But oh my heart is heading to break 

They say God forgives 

Is this love in the grave 

They say God forgives 

Is this love in the grave 

They say God forgives 

Is this love in the grave
