[Verse 1]
Tired of the lace, a veil across her face
Lookin' to the sea
Beneath her breath, she prays
"Let the winds erase"
"Dreams of him comin' home to me"

[Chorus]
Stride by stride
The tears escape the bride
As she breaks her clock
And haunts the widow's walk to mark the hours
Ooh oohooh
Ooh hoohoohoo

[Verse 2]
A ticking clock
The scratching of a pin upon the bible by the door
These are the sounds of pain
The death of what has been
She was broke before she hit the floor

[Chorus]
But now she breaks inside
And tears escape the bride
As she breaks the clock
And haunts the widow's walk to mark the hours
[Outro]
Stride by stride
The tears escape the bride
As she breaks the clock
And haunts the widow's walk to mark the hours
Ohh ohhohh
