Lyrics
0:27When I first saw
0:30The
0:31Child brides
0:35Two bridegroom boys at their
0:38Side
0:42Genevieve in union with
0:45Holy communion
0:49Marriane the
0:51Younger
0:52Wife
0:55And the child brides
0:58Went down to the water
1:03Neptune calls out
1:06To his daughters
1:10Throw yourself at the tide
1:16I'll see you
1:20On the
1:21Other side
1:24In a loveless marriage
1:27When I was fourteen
1:31All grazed knees and black
1:34Eyes
1:37And you come round here
1:40With your fancy talk and your big ideas
1:45What have you done with your
1:48Wives
1:51And the child brides
1:54Went down to the water
1:59Neptune calls out
2:02To his daughters
2:07Throw yourself at the tide
2:13I'll see you
2:16On the
2:18Other side
2:19My beautiful
2:22Child
2:23Brides
2:47Bride of Christ
2:50Bride of
2:51Jesus
2:55Bride of the fish
2:58When you're fathoms down
3:01And the uncles
3:03And the brothers
3:05With their sunday suits on
3:09Search the villages and towns
3:15But the child brides
3:18Went down to the water
3:23Neptune calls out
3:26To his daughters
3:30Throw yourself at the tide
3:37I'll see you
3:40On the other side
3:44I'll see you
3:47On the other side
3:50I'll see you
3:54On the other side
3:57I'll
3:58See
4:00You
4:01On the
4:02Other side
When I first saw The Child brides Two bridegroom boys at their Side Genevieve in union with Holy communion Marriane the Younger Wife And the child brides Went down to the water Neptune calls out To his daughters Throw yourself at the tide I'll see you On the Other side In a loveless marriage When I was fourteen All grazed knees and black Eyes And you come round here With your fancy talk and your big ideas What have you done with your Wives And the child brides Went down to the water Neptune calls out To his daughters Throw yourself at the tide I'll see you On the Other side My beautiful Child Brides Bride of Christ Bride of Jesus Bride of the fish When you're fathoms down And the uncles And the brothers With their sunday suits on Search the villages and towns But the child brides Went down to the water Neptune calls out To his daughters Throw yourself at the tide I'll see you On the other side I'll see you On the other side I'll see you On the other side I'll See You On the Other side
