Though Let's Be Fair Lyrics - The Fiery Furnaces

Though Let's Be Fair 

Though let's be fair 

I had other loves before my husband 

Other sweethearts 

Tom Kitsos, for instance 

And another I won't mention 

I loved him truly, or so I thought 

Turned out in another snare he'd been caught 

They were to get married that June 

And all the relatives 

From New Hampshire and Harrisburg, were coming 

And the day I heard, I went home 

And closed the door to my room 

And I laid down on my bed 

And I may have cried 

Very briefly 

I watched and wondered if they would last 

I tried to tell myself "put it in the past," 

And that June 

As I was the organist at our church, didn't you know 

I was up in the choir loft, looking down 

On all their friends and relations 

Playing as they walked down the aisle 

I'd see him 'round some 

We'd nod and smile 

I couldn't decide if I was still in love with him 

After all this while 

I'd see them together at church 

And they'd look sort of grim 

It didn't seem as though she was happy with him
