You Pour, I Light
You pour, I light, that's the division
I don't need your stories in my glass
I need a hand that knows the bottle
And a quiet that can last
I pour, you light, I can live with that
It's the first job I ever liked
You keep the coal, I keep the measure
We don't have to make it a night
You pour, I light
I pour, you light
That's a marriage for an hour
No preacher, no white
Just rye and a leaf and a lamp
And two people doing it right
Don't get proud because it works
Working is the whole romance
If you start making speeches
I'll put the cutter in my hand
I won't speech. I'll just pour
You won't bless it. You'll just burn
If the band gets in the way
We'll wait our turn
This is how a room gets holy
Without anybody kneeling down
A woman with a match
A man with a bottle
And nobody wearing a crown
You pour, I light
I pour, you light
That's a marriage for an hour
No preacher, no white
Just rye and a leaf and a lamp
And two people doing it right
