I Cant Believe We Were Married Lyrics

I Cant Believe We Were Married lyrics

Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)
Late on a Friday my husband went up to the
mountains with three friends
They took provisions and bottles of bourbon to
last them all through the weekend
One hundred miles they drove just to fish
in a stream
And there's so much water so close to home
When they arrived
it was cold and dark; they set up their camp quickly
Warmed up with whisky
they walked to the river where the water flowed past
darkly
In the
moonlight they saw the body of a young girl floating face down
And there's
so much water so close to home
When he hold me now I'm pretending
I feel
like I'm frozen inside
And behind my eyes, my daily disguise
Everything's
turning to white
It was too hard to tell how long she'd been dead, the river
was that close
to freezing
But one thing for sure, the girl hadn't died
very well to judge from the
bruising
They stood there above her all
thinking the same thoughts at the same time
There's so much water so close
to home
They carried her downstream from their fishing; between two rocks
they
gently wedged her
After all they'd come so far, it was late
And
the girl would keep; she was going nowhere
They stayed up there fishing for
two days
They reported it on Sunday when they came back down
There's so
much water so close to home
When he holds me now I'm pretending
I feel
like I'm frozen inside
And behind my eyes, my daily disguise
Everything's
turning to white
The newspapers said that the girl had been strangled to
death and also molested
On the day of the funeral the radio reported that a
young man had been arrested
I went to the service a stranger; I drove past
the lake out of town
There's so much water so close to home
When he holds
me now I'm pretending
I feel like I'm frozen inside
And behind my eyes, my
daily disguise
Everything's turning to white
