To love is to bury lyrics Cowboy Junkies

To love is to bury


I buried him down by the river
'cause that's where he liked to be
and every night when the moon is high
I go there and weep openly

He and I were married
By this river 'neath this willow tree
and with God and friends witnessing it
He pledged his life to me

To me he was Earth
and I rooted in his soil
I to he was Sky vast and free
of the burdens from which he toiled

Then one night a terrible fight
Words spoken better left unsaid
With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
He gave his life to me

They say to love is to bury
Those demons from which we all hide
But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree
Becoming one of Earth and Sky

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics TO LOVE IS TO BURY of COWBOY JUNKIES is also present in the album The trinity session (1988)

Biografia

I Cowboy Junkies sono una band canadese di country rock formatasi a Toronto nel 1985. I membri fondatori sono i fratelli Margo (voce), Michael (chitarra, compositore) e Peter Timmins (batteria), insieme al loro amico d'infanzia Alan Anton (basso). Il nome della band è probabilmente ispirato dalla canzone di Townes Van Zandt "Cowboy Junkies Lament", anche se il brano è stato scritto nel 1989, dopo la formazione del gruppo. I Cowboy Junkies sono noti per il loro sound introspettivo e malinconico, influenzato dal folk americano e dal country tradizionale. Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "The Trinity Session" (1988), un disco di grande successo che ha consacrato la band al pubblico internazionale. Altri brani rappresentativi includono "Sweet Jane", "If You Really Want To Know" e "A Common Disaster".
