She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune Lyrics
She sang hymns out of tune
And carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon
And talked to the people
The people who are
I have a clock on the wall
It keeps time and that isn't all
It tells me how long she's been gone
Gone to the people
The people who are
She lived in a sorcerer's room
And pounded the table and brandished the broom
She turned ten thousand when she touched the moon
And turned to the people
The people who are
The rain fell and scattered away
The old antique caretaker's children at play
Early that morning she passed away
Passed to the people
The people who are
She sang hymns out of tune
And carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon
And talked to the people
The people who are
And carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon
And talked to the people
The people who are
It keeps time and that isn't all
It tells me how long she's been gone
Gone to the people
The people who are
And pounded the table and brandished the broom
She turned ten thousand when she touched the moon
And turned to the people
The people who are
The old antique caretaker's children at play
Early that morning she passed away
Passed to the people
The people who are
And carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon
And talked to the people
The people who are

She sang hymns out of tune And carried a yellow balloon She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon And danced in the thin light of a ¾ moon
I have a clock on the wall It keeps time but that isn't all It tells me how long she's been gone Gone like the darkness From the light of a dawn
She lived in a sorcerer's room And pounded the table and brandished the broom She turned to ten thousand when she touched the moon And danced ‘neath the night sky Entranced by a tune
The rain fell and scattered away The old antique caretaker's children at play Early that morning she passed away Passed away and was laid on a grey dreary day
She sang hymns out of tune And carried a yellow balloon She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon And danced in the thin light of a ¾ moon
