Shonagh Daly - When The Cedars Fell lyrics

rate me

It's not much of a town,

But this is our home

‘Cause it's halfway to nowhere

So its paradise to some

Just a handful of people

And the judge has a bell

But nobody knows

When the cedars fell

We were too young to notice

We were too young to care

And how we ran through the cotton fields

With the wind in our hair

He will tease me ‘til supper time

And I'd never tell

I remember so clearly

When the cedars fell

And time passed by

Every day with his laughter

Every night in his eyes

And when we became lovers

I didn't lose a friend

And she brought the sunshine

The joy and the pride

It was clear for a girl

And when he saw her he cried

How long will you love us

I did make him tell

He said he would love us

‘Til the cedars fell

It was the worst storm we'd ever known

So they gave her a name

She would kill without mercy

But he went all the same

And I heard the trees creaking

I remember the sound

As two of those cedars came down to the ground

And time passed by,

And the days have no laughter,

And the tears in the night

And the memory will linger,

‘Til the end…

And I woke that morning

To the sound of that phone

I let it ring through my emptiness

Cos I knew he was gone

And sometimes she asks me

But I still can't tell

I say nobody knows

When the cedars fell

Nobody knows when the cedars fell
