Trust Song (A Murder Ballad)

from Trust Song (Single) by Aaron J. Shay & Unwoman

lyrics

The first time I saw her, I knew she'd be mine
When she smiled at me, I took it as a sign
I offered my hand and invited her down
To the scenic riverside, far from town

She asked me, “what do I want with your hand?
Will you take no advantage there, down on the sand?”
I promised, “Dear lady, I will do what I must
In order to earn your trust.”

Trust is what makes love grow strong,
Strong as the stone graves are made of
It’s love when passion and promises meet
Without it, we are incomplete
With trust, we’ll never go wrong

Down by the water, our love we confessed
Desires unbridled, and bodies undressed
Then she looked away and I followed her eyes
And the stone in her hand took me by surprise

The stranger who spied us will spy never more
We buried his body down there by the shore
This secret we keep of our murder, though just,
Binds us together with trust

Trust is what makes love grow strong,
Strong as the stone graves are made of
It’s love when passion and promises meet
Without it, we are incomplete
With trust, we’ll never go wrong

Trust is what makes love grow strong,
Strong as the stone graves are made of
It’s love when passion and promises meet
Without it, we are incomplete
With trust, we’ll never go wrong
