Neapolitan Bridesmaid

Joshua smiled, said "listen to reason,
 don't blame me when the walls come tumbling
 down."
 So I was adrift on the sea of longing
 awaiting the trumpets to raise your ivory
 gown.
 And if only time will tell
 Then I can't stand waiting
 While the lights are changing on me
 Tell it to my own free will
 If I lost this thorn from my side
 I think I'd die.
 Albert Camus said, "living is anguish,"
 but don't dare let those bastards carry you
 down.
 And if this is so then I see no reason
 for spending the evening doing anything but going down
 town.
 And if only time will tell
 then I can't stand waiting
 while the lights are changing on me.
 Tell it to my own free will
 If I lost this thorn from my side
 I'd probably die.
 Most likely die
 I think I'd die.
