Let the sky grow dark
With a heavy heart
Let the funeral start
Let the funeral start
Suddenly it seemed
Love was just a dream
On a TV screen
In a magazine
Mother please hold on
Brother please be strong
Yeah they played this song
We all sang along
I see trees of green, red roses too, scattered out for you
On a grave stone new
I�m 12 years older I can�t stay sober
And there�s a bluebird in my heart
That�s caged and it wont sing
So fill your bloodlines up with bourbon kid this won�t sting
It�s like a slowing of your senses just might solve something
Let the mourners of St Pauls lead the parade
Suddenly it seams
I�m settled in my old routines
Another year has gone
I still sing the same sad song
So when the snow has finally cleared
I�m gonna swim right out of here
And wake my father�s bones
And drag his ghost into the road
This house could hold nothing but melodies
So sombre, such miserable memories
Three cheers for love of the simplest kind
Let�s drink to all that we've left behind
Suddenly it seams
I�m settled in my old routines
Another year has gone
I still sing the same sad song
Let the sky grow dark
With a heavy heart
Let the funeral start
Let the funeral start
you all have it wrong.
Let the sky grow dark With a heavy heart Let the funeral start Let the funeral start
Suddenly it seemed Love was just a dream On a TV screen In a magazine
Mother please hold on Brother please be strong Yeah they played this song We all sang along I see trees of green, red roses too, scattered out for you On a grave stone new I�m 12 years older I can�t stay sober And there�s a bluebird in my heart That�s caged and it wont sing So fill your bloodlines up with bourbon kid this won�t sting It�s like a slowing of your senses just might solve something Let the mourners of St Pauls lead the parade
