My Beautiful Bride - The Handsome Family

Out in the heather, where the sun burns bright

She swore she’d love me the rest of her life

But my hands, they shook as the noon bells chimed

So at the last bell, I showed her my knife

And I laid to rest

My beautiful bride

Out in the heather

Where the sun burns bright

And I laid to rest

My beautiful bride

Out in the heather

Where the sun burns bright

Now all alone under the cool night sky

Where locusts scream and white moths fly

Silvery moonbeams fall on her grave

But twisting black vines have covered her name

For I loved too much

My beautiful bride

And so gave her up

To the cool night sky

For I loved too much

My beautiful bride

And so gave her up

To the cool night sky
