lazypadawanWhile looking for old albums to download from iTunes--stuff I don't have on CD--I couldn't believe I had totally forgotten about one track on Sting's 1987 album "Nothing Like The Sun" when I used to come up with those lists of songs that remind you of some aspect of SW. The track is "The Secret Marriage" and while there were flowers, dresses, and white veils on Naboo, I guess the rest of it fits:
No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission
No family bond has ever made us two
No company has ever earned commission
No debt was ever paid no dowry to be granted
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage can never be broken
No flowers on the alter
No white veil in your hair
No maiden dress to alter
No Bible oath to swear
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage can never be broken
No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission
No family bond has ever made us two
No company has ever earned commission
No debt was ever paid no dowry to be granted
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage can never be broken
No flowers on the alter
No white veil in your hair
No maiden dress to alter
No Bible oath to swear
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The secret marriage can never be broken
