Happily Ever After

She was eighteen
He
a few months younger
He took her to places
she would have never dared to go
Is that the sun or
the moon
she could ask him
He took the lead
and the child in her felt home
Happily ever ever after
A girl
What were her hopes then
To win her father's love in this boy
Her wedding-dress was white
with red red roses
Her knowledge of the old ways
still asleep
There were no silverbelts
no courting parties
Her mom and dad so glad
she was out of sin
Happily ever ever after
Just kids
So full of dreams then
And there was no one there to
show the way

So full of dreams then
But there was no one there
to show the way
