the coral
she sings the mourning
Down to the glen where the roses twine Lie in the grass watch the time go by The hum drum mid-afternoon sun Only his mothers only son  Black Jack tarmac dirt dust trap Sister certain wrapped in rags Whispers words of unwished schemes Steals a smile from the scorpions dream  She sings the mourning She sings the mourning She sings the mourning In the quiet night She said don't worry She said don't worry She said don't worry We're out of sight She sings the mourning In the quiet night  Blood red love not temptress eyes Cuts right through the family ties Lighthouse lights the locust nest Salem's site invites incest  Back to the glen where the roses twine Treacle tarts and turpentine Patron saint of guillotines A secret's safe when no-one sees  She sings the mourning She sings the mourning She sings the mourning In the quiet night She said don't worry She said don't worry She said don't worry We're out of sight She sings the mourning In the quiet night
