"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"

[Chorus:]
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"

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

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

[Outro:]
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
They say God forgives
Is this love in the grave?
