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