(This Is) My New Vow

[Verse 1]
Walk back down the aisle
No cameras, no flowers this time
You will find your way back home, no one at your side
Only absence will be your lover, regret your bride

[Pre-Chorus]
And this is my new vow
Not to have you or hold you
No more my arms enfold you
From this day on
And with all that I am
And all that I have
I still honor you

[Chorus]
So go, take your records
I want the plate from Mexico
Go, and don't look back, dear
To swimming in the azure blue

[Verse 2]
We have lived and partly lived, not to let this happen
You took my hand, I gave it to you, I take it back
Ten years could be a lifetime, and now we count the ways
To leave the burning sameness of these days

[Pre-Chorus]
And just the other day
I saw it there
Gleaming in the attic twilight
My wedding dress
Still off-white, still my mother's
As she must have seen it
When she left Dad

[Chorus]
So go, damn this whole thing
I don't know how we got here
Go, and don't look back, dear
The way I always did
And I still do
