Ten Dollar Ring

from Vicious Waltz by Bryan Dunn

/

lyrics

I came back to town for the wedding
The last of the Stephenson brides
The talk died down to a whisper when they let me inside
I saw you there at the table
You smiled and you waved your right hand
Then they called for a toast and they all raised their glasses again.

And there's a ten dollar ring on your finger
There's a five dollar ring in my hand
There's a ten dollar ring on your finger
And that five dollar ring went back in my pocket again.

I had to laugh when I saw you
In that suit that you borrowed from John
The pants are too short and the sleeves are a litte too long
I had to smile but I tell you
That I only wanted to cry
As I sat at that table with somebody else at my side

There's a ten dollar ring on my finger
'Cause you never asked for my hand
There's a ten dollar ring on my finger
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever see you again

No need to impress
Just a second hand dress
And something that's borrowed or blue
It'd be all right
If you didn't wear white
As long as I'm there next to you

I left right after the wedding
And I didn't say anything
Then I went to the river and I threw in that five dollar ring
I looked for you the whole damn evening
So much that I wanted to say
But whenever I need you, baby, you just run away

There's a ten dollar ring on my finger
And you didn't even shake my hand
There's a five dollar ring in the river
And believe me, my darling, you'll never see me again
