Jake Scott

The Bridegroom

Jake Scott


Black ink, blank page
Pen screams, outrage
Where did you go
When I needed you most?

Remember my words
That I will return
And make you my own
You will never be alone

Hold on, keep holding on until the morning
I am coming home to take your hand in mine
Man, don't you listen to lullabies and lovers’ lies
I, I cannot wait to see those eyes
And I, I, I cannot wait to see those eyes

Anxious, white dress
Promises and regrets
I gave you my pledge
Please remember what I said

Hold on, keep holding on until the morning
I am coming home to take your hand in mine
Man, don't you listen to lullabies and lovers' lies
I, I cannot wait to see those eyes
And I, I, I cannot wait to see those eyes
I, I cannot wait to see my bride
