The Wedding Andy Shauf

[Verse 1]
Lean back, try to relax, take another sip
These demons will free, these shackles from me
Bill Brown, i'm feeling his glare across the room
Crowded with smiles, twirling in time

[Verse 2]
My comrades left me to sit here all alone
To fidget and sweat, but there's still some time left
For him to rise, a victor i'd be in no ones eyes
They'd just wonder why, I've not been by her side

[Chorus]
Oh, if i could die
Start it again, 'neath the morning light
Oh, if i could die
Start it again, 'neath the morning light

[Verse 3]
Bill Brown, your father-in-law and dad to the bride
Walks over to me, and pulls up a seat
He says, "Sam, now i don't know what the hell is wrong
But put down your glass, and dance with your bride."

[Verse 4]
So I stand, straighten my tie and wipe my hands
Take a deep breath, and start through the room
To my bride, beauty in white, she looks up at me
With a smile quick to fade, as I walk out the door
Where one match, and one cigarette could never be
Enough to release, the weights down on me
