The Bay

My love came down the way, that way He smiled and hollered come stay, come stay! I skipped, i jumped but to my dismay. I tripped and fell into the bay, that bay. I sunk, i flailed, i hit the wave But no fight could calm that grave, this grave. My eyes shut, my mouth gasped, my lungs gave As i drifted towards a cave, that cave The prays were said the tears where shed that day, today As my empty casket was lowered into the clay, this clay. My loved sat pale as he watched them work midday, that day Thinking of his dead girl decay, decay But up a hill i came the way, this way Dripping wet and with a heaving sway, a sway People laughed as I sighed i’m okay, okay then went off quick to relay, a relay I told them of the cave, that cave that saved me from my grave, that grave. i washed up there and found a man quite brave who gave me air that the water depraved My love came bursting into the room, so soon babbling like a buffoon He fell to his knees in a mighty swoon, so soon then rose in a happier crying tune. this tune. I will love the lass, this lass, my lass He shouted to the mass, this mass, that mass Her faults, her strengths, even her crass. never will there be a woman of her class, this class We married in the cave, that day People we’re yelling hooray, hooray it was a very lovely display, today We headed down the walkway, this way My love then whispered so softly to say Never will my heart betray, anyway Never will i make you feel astray He reached into his pocket so gray, so gray He gave me a box that had been for yesterday, that day which he was going to give me before i fell into the bay, that bay He smiled and opened it, and said happy birthday let us spend more together okay, okay....
