Veil Of White Lace ----- Michael O'Brien + Lyrics Underneath

The church door was open as I stepped inside
I went there a hoping that she'd change her mind
There were beautiful roses in a bridal bouquet
Where she stood at the altar in a veil of white lace

A stranger in silence reached out for her hand
And placed on her finger a gold wedding band
There was happiness written in the smile on his face
But I couldn't see hers neath the veil of white lace

I pitied that stranger for all he could see
Was their life together for eternity
My heart filled with anger when I pictured her face
Of a false hearted quitter in a veil of white lace

I reached in my pocket when the wedding was done
My hand touched a locket then fell on the gun
It shattered the silence as it left its trace
Stains of red crimson on a veil of white lace

I ran from the church door as I threw down the gun
But stopped at the door step for there crossing the lawn
My darling said she had decided to wait
Death to a stranger 'neath the veil of white lace
