about

Slept through the funeral
But didn’t I try to go?
Didn’t I fly around you, darlin’
Like a feather on the road?
Couldn’t bear the cord
Couldn’t brave the snow
Couldn’t show my face again
Anywhere we used to go

It’s a damn good lie
That I tried to tell
Didn’t I come around that evening
Just to hold and wish you well?
So pull the thread from the line
While I try to sew
Didn’t I stick around you, darlin’
Like a needle in your clothes?

Oh, the ceiling might be falling down
And November winds are cold
It’s a blue light, that’s filling up our days and nights
With a fear of getting old

There’s cracks and holes
The hail’s coming through
I was hardly there
And you I hardly knew
I heard you moved to Kerry
Where you raised our son
I heard he’d broken his ring finger
When he tried to hit someone
You were marching on
While I was running slow
Didn’t I fly around you, darlin’
Like a feather on the road

Oh, the ceiling might be falling down
And November winds are cold
It’s a blue light, that’s filling up our days and nights
With a fear of getting old
