Though Let's Be Fair - The Fiery Furnaces

Though let’s be fair

I had other loves before my husband

Other sweethearts

Tom Kitsos, for instance

And another I won’t mention

I loved him truly, or so I thought

Turned out in another snare he’d been caught

They were to get married that June

And all the relatives

From New Hampshire and Harrisburg, were coming

And the day I heard, I went home

And closed the door to my room

And I laid down on my bed

And I may have cried

Very briefly

I watched and wondered if they would last

I tried to tell myself «put it in the past,»

And that June

As I was the organist at our church, didn’t you know

I was up in the choir loft, looking down

On all their friends and relations

Playing as they walked down the aisle

I’d see him 'round some

We’d nod and smile

I couldn’t decide if I was still in love with him

After all this while

I’d see them together at church

And they’d look sort of grim

It didn’t seem as though she was happy with him
