# THE WEDDING VEIL [Intro] [Verse] There’s a coat beside the doorway And your boots are on the floor. I have waited for this evening Till I can’t wait anymore. You kiss me like you’re leaving Though you’ve only just come home. I can hear you breathing near me But I’ve never felt so alone. [Chorus] Come back to me. Come back to me. You’re standing here But you’re so far away. Come back to me. Just look at me. Whatever haunts you Doesn’t have to stay. [Instrumental] [Verse] The flowers have begun to wilt. The guests have gone to sleep. Your fingers tremble on the glass. You hardly speak to me. I took the ribbons from my hair. You didn’t turn to see. I folded up the wedding veil And laid it carefully. [Chorus] Come back to me. Come back to me. You’re standing here But you’re so far away. Come back to me. Just look at me. Whatever haunts you Doesn’t have to stay. [Instrumental] [Bridge] I don’t need to know your secrets. I don’t need to understand. I just want to feel you reach for me Without fear inside your hands. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Come back to me. Come back to me. You’re standing here But you’re so far away. Come back to me. Just look at me. Whatever haunts you Doesn’t have to stay. [Outro] I heard a footstep in the hallway. I thought that it was you. Victor? [End]
