She sings the mourning

She sings the mourning Lyrics

Down to the glen where the roses twine
Lie in the grass, watch the time go by
The humdrum mid afternoon sun
Only his mother's only son
Black jack tarmac, dirt dust track
Sister's certain wrapped in rags
Whispers words of Irish schemes
Steal a smile from the scorpion's dreams

She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning in the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry, we're out of sight
She sings the mourning in the quiet night

Blood red love knot, temptress eyes
Cuts right through the family ties
Lighthouse lights the locust's nest
Salem sights in vibe incest

Act to the glen where the roses twine
Treacle tarts and terpentine
Patron saint of guillotine
Secrets safe when no-one sees

And she sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning in the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry, we're out of sight

And she sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning in the quiet night
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry, we're out of sight
