Let the sky grow dark
With a heavy heart
Let the funeral start
Let the funeral start
Suddenly it seemed
Love is just a dream
On a TV screen
In a magazine
Mother please hold on
Brother please be strong
Yeah they play this song
We all sang along
I see trees of green, red roses too, scattered out for you
On a grave stone
I’m 12 years older I can’t stay sober
And there’s a bluebird in my heart
That’s caged and it can’t 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 away from 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 he 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
No no no! you've both got it wrong!
The lyrics are as follows!
Let the sky grow dark With a heavy heart Let the funeral start Let the funeral start
Suddenly it seemed Love is just a dream On a TV screen In a magazine
Mother please hold on Brother please be strong Yeah they play this song We all sang along I see trees of green, red roses too, scattered out for you On a grave stone I’m 12 years older I can’t stay sober And there’s a bluebird in my heart That’s caged and it can’t 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 away from 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 he 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
