Maid Of The Seas Lyrics - The Roches

I wanted to take your face in my hands 

And kiss you on the mouth at the funeral 

There was a quake in the place where love demands to be noticed 

And found out making you beautiful 

I turned myself away from you in shame 

Wanting these sensations to go back from where they came 

When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze 

She said sex is the opposite of death 

It's alright child it's natural it's wild 

It's just the life force and you can use it 

You won't abuse it Enjoy yourself she said 

Take my husband to bed 

I couldn't keep my mind on the preacher 

Standing by the casket, where she lay 

I couldn't weep entwined like some creature 

With a wish and I ask it, please go away 

Shock and grief follow death 

And I feel guilty that I still draw breath 

When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze 

She said sex is the opposite of death 

It's the rule it's natural stay cool 

It's just the life force you gotta love it 

You're not above it enjoy yourself she said 

Take my husband to bed
