lyrics

She walked down the aisle
with red hair & matches
they had one year of fire
& 20 years of ashes

love was like a wedding present
they forgot to open
they seemed to have no clue
that something was broken

so they sat there for years
just watching the box
not saying a word
but she was watching the clocks

on their 21st anniversary
she got out the matches
& burned down the bedroom
& laid in the ashes

& for a whole year
he nursed her & fed her
& she saw that he loved her
& he saw why he wed her

12 months & she died
& he had her cremated
& he sat with the urn
& the telly & waited

& he talked to the urn
as they watched the box
but this time he kept
an eye on the clocks

She came with red hair
& a box of matches
they had 1 year of fire
& 20 years of ashes
