The Bay Lyrics — PJ Harvey

A dead man came calling
My name and in need
Said "Betty, you're my girl
The strongest I've seen"

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

Said "Betty, she's fine
And Betty, she's tall
And Betty makes love
Like no woman at all"

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
But I can't learn the same

So I gave him my time
And I gave him my peace
And I gave him my heart
Gave it to keep

But oh my eyes
Making fools out of me
They say love is blindness
I can no longer see

Now I've no more to give
And I've no more to say
And the stars shine less bright now
Over this dead man's bay

But oh my heart
Is heading to break
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?

They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
