potter's field - a different thread lyrics

[verse 1]
they don’t know i came to town in my wedding dress
my shoes were shined, i tried my very best
he took my name and he gave me his
but i’d rather none than a name like this

[chorus]
lay me in a shallow grave
wrap me in a linen shroud
i would settle for a stone without a name
out in the potter’s field

[verse 2]
i never spoke about the silk and the satin too
that he gave to me to hide the black and blue
but in thе dead of night and behind closed doors
his ragе was never satisfied with more

[chorus]
lay me in a shallow grave
wrap me in a linen shroud
i would settle for a stone without a name
out in the potter’s field

[verse 3]
you should’ve seen me on the night i left
bare feet on the floor and part way dressed
but it starts in the fingers and it moves from there
a frozen girl on the old church stairs
[chorus]
lay me in a shallow grave
wrap me in a linen shroud
i would settle for a stone without a name
out in the potter’s field

[verse 4]
well the prettiest thing i’ve seen since i left the farm
was the frost shining in the morning sun
and the care with which the old man lay me down
as if he’d lost a daughter of his own

[chorus / outro]
lay me in a shallow grave
wrap me in a linen shroud
i would settle for a stone without a name
out in the potter’s field
i would settle for a stone without a name
