John Parish, PJ Harvey

That Was My Veil

Verse 1	It starts at daylight I see him before my sad eyes I hear him breathing Oh lover, need you to lead me No never thought that you'd leave
Chorus	That was my veil That was my time Once held secret But now lies
Verse 2	No words can heal my heart Inside I'm broken, now it's done Was she a pretty girl Does she have pretty hair Was she soft-spoken Was there a love there
Chorus	That was my veil That was my time Once held secret But now lies
Chorus (alt.)	Give back my veil Give back my time No more secret You give me lies Give me back my veil Give back my life No more secret You give me lies Lies
