Bride and Bridle - The Long Winters

I came back on the trail of a man

Things are the same as when i left

Well I so wanted to say hey

But I know you think my sentence was too light

Now time should have put this behind us

Some things I won’t soon forget

Bride and bridle are too close in a man’s mind

And I know you think my sentence was too light

You, you weren’t true

But I can’t blame a woman who changes

Three thousand, six hundred and fifty-odd days I waited

Time, I did my time

Now I long since quit feeling my hands

Still, three men have a date with me;

I could have found them all before now

And I know they think my sentence was too light

Your father bet ten years against this day

He wed his girl to a better man

But he stands here now with his hat in his hands

And i know he thinks my sentence was too light
