Richard Harris - The Yard Went On Forever lyrics

rate me

Is everybody safe?<br />

Has everybody got a place to hide?<br />

Is everybody warm inside?<br />

<br />

Hear them singing<br />

All the women of Pompeii<br />

Standing with the Kansas City housewives in doorways<br />

In volcanoes and tornadoes on doomsday<br />

<br />

De profundis clamavi ad te Domine<br />

Donae nobis pacem<br />

(5 times)<br />

[Out of the deep have I cried to you, Lord<br />

Grant us peace.]<br />

<br />

There were houses, there were hoses<br />

There were sprinklers on the lawn<br />

There was an ironing board<br />

And she would stand and made her understand him<br />

And ask the children what they'd done at school that day<br />

And the yard went on forever<br />

<br />

There were blouses with print roses, checkered shirts and white levis<br />

There was a frying pan and she would cook their dreams while they were dreaming<br />

And later she would send them out to play<br />

And the yard went on forever<br />

<br />

Is everybody safe?<br />

Has everybody got a place to hide?<br />

Is everybody warm inside?<br />

<br />

Hear them singing<br />

All the women of Pompeii<br />

Standing with the Nagasaki housewives in doorways<br />

In eruptions and destructions on doomsday<br />

<br />

De profundis clamavi ad te Domine<br />

Donae nobis pacem<br />
