Meav Ni Mhaolchatha - Since You And I Were True lyrics

rate me

We might as well lie down, love

Lie down and close our eyes

We might as well go walking

In the country of the blind

The long grass is grown

And all the birds flown

To their homes away in the blue

And nothing's left the same

The whole world is changed

Since you and I were true

And how can a story be ended

When it didn't hardly begin?

How can my glass be so empty

When it's filled up to the brim?

And it wasn't always so

It didn't always go

We had something better to do

And it didn't always rain

Every single day

When you and I were true

In a country where we are headed, love

There is nothing but rocks and stones

No friendly plant or animal

No angel to guide you home

Until some day you'll find

In the country of the blind

Some wonder just like you

And the singing of a bird

That nobody has heard

Since you and I were true

We might as well lie down, love

Lie down and close our eyes

We might as well go walking

In the country of the blind

The long grass is grown

And all the birds flown

To their homes away in the blue

And nothing's left the same

The whole world is changed

Since you and I were true
