The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors) Lyrics
I saw her there fade from afar
Her hair was gray charcoal
Takes a drag from her ta
I kissed her a smile
But her blood red shot eye
Said the son never shines on closed doors
It's been eight long years since I saw
The woman who's labored
Since the day I was born
These wrinkles now face
To that cold dark damp place
Where the son never shines on closed doors
She said, the son never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the son never shines on closed doors
Death comes like a thief in the nigh
To steal while you sleep
The soul's flickering light
Well maybe it's then
She said, I'll see you again
Because the son never shines on closed doors
She said, the son never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the son never shines on closed doors
And we all go the same way home
Yeah we all go the same way home
Her hair was gray charcoal
Takes a drag from her ta
I kissed her a smile
But her blood red shot eye
Said the son never shines on closed doors
The woman who's labored
Since the day I was born
These wrinkles now face
To that cold dark damp place
Where the son never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the son never shines on closed doors
To steal while you sleep
The soul's flickering light
Well maybe it's then
She said, I'll see you again
Because the son never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the son never shines on closed doors
Yeah we all go the same way home

It was about him taking many years to finally go back home to Ireland. He said his mother didn't even recognize him at first. He was so happy to see her, but was so sad he'd let so much life and time pass between visits to see her.
See the DVD, however much of a Flogging Molly fan you are... the DVD will multiply it times 100.
An amazing look into the heart, mind and soul of Dave King.
Yea for songs about mommy.
This song almost makes me weep in the car and crash into the state police and die.
is it really "son" and not "sun"? that adds a whole new level...
