Liam Frost - The Mourners Of St. Paul's lyrics

rate me

Let the sky grow dark

With a heavy heart

Let the funeral start

Let the funeral start

Suddenly it seemed, love was just a dream

On a TV screen, In a magazine

Mother please hold on, brother please, be strong

Yeah they played this song, we all sang along

I see trees of green, red roses too

Scattered out for you, on gravestone, new

I'm twelve years older, I can't stay sober

And there's a bluebird in my heart that's caged and it can't sing

So fill your bloodlines up with bourbon kid and this won't sting

It's like the slowing of your senses just might solve something

Let the mourners of St. Paul's lead the parade

Suddenly it seems, I'm settled in my old routines

Another year has gone, I still sing the same sad song

So when the snow is finally clear, I'm gonna swim away from here

And wake my father's bones, drag his ghost into the road

This house could hold nothing but melodies

So sombre, such miserable memory

Three cheers for love of the simplest kind

Let's drink to all that we've left behind

Let the funeral start

Let the funeral start

Let the funeral start

Let the funeral start

Suddenly it seems, I'm settled in my old routines

Another year has gone, I still sing the same sad song

Let the sky grow dark, with a heavy heart

Let the funeral start (Let the funeral start)

Let the funeral start (Let the funeral start)
