Richard Harris - The Yard Went On Forever lyrics
rate meIs 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 />
