《Faithfully Departed(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] Faithfully Departed (Live) - Christy Moore

[00:00:34] This graveyard hides a million secrets

[00:00:37] And the trees know more than they can tell

[00:00:40] The ghosts of the saints and the scholars will haunt you

[00:00:43] In heaven and in hell

[00:00:46] Rattled by the glimmer man the boogie man the holy man

[00:00:49] And livin' in the shadows in the shadows of a gunman

[00:00:51] Rattled like the coppers in your greasy till

[00:00:54] Rattled until time stood still

[00:00:57] Look over your shoulder hear the school bell ring

[00:01:00] Another day of made-to-measure history

[00:01:01] I don't care if your heroes have wings

[00:01:05] Your terrible beauty has been torn

[00:01:08] Faithful departed we fickle hearted

[00:01:14] As you are now so once were we

[00:01:21] Faithful departed we the meek hearted

[00:01:27] With graces imparting bring flowers to thee

[00:01:34] The girls in the kips proclaim their love for you

[00:01:37] When you stumbled in they knew you had a shilling or two

[00:01:40] They cursed you on Sundays and holy days of abstinence

[00:01:44] When you all stayed away

[00:01:45] When you slept there a naked bulb hid your shame

[00:01:48] Your shadows on the wall they took all the blame

[00:01:51] The Sacred Heart's picture compassion in his eyes

[00:01:54] Drowned out the river of sighs

[00:01:57] Let the grass grow green over the brewery tonight

[00:01:59] It'll never come between the darkness and the light

[00:02:02] There is no pain that can't be eased

[00:02:05] By the devil's holy water and the rosary beads

[00:02:11] Faithful departed we fickle hearted

[00:02:15] As you are now so once were we

[00:02:23] Faithful departed we the meek hearted

[00:02:28] With graces imparting bring flowers to thee

[00:02:57] You're a history book I never could write

[00:03:00] Poetry in paralysis too deep to recite

[00:03:03] Dress yourself bless yourself you've won the fight

[00:03:05] We're gonna celebrate the night

[00:03:08] We'll even climb the pillar like you always meant to

[00:03:11] Watch the sun rise over the strand

[00:03:14] Close your eyes and we'll pretend

[00:03:16] It could somehow be the same again

[00:03:19] I'll bury you upright so the sun doesn't blind you

[00:03:22] You won't have to gaze at the rain and the stars

[00:03:25] Sleep and dream of chapels and bars

[00:03:27] And whiskey in the jar

[00:03:33] Faithful departed look what you've started;

[00:03:37] An underdog's wounds aren't so easy to mend

[00:03:44] Faithful departed there's no broken hearted

[00:03:49] And no more tristesse in your world without end
