lyrics

Four and twenty days ago,
I saw you at a funeral,
In bygone years you set me free,
Now I live alone in old memories.

Whisper in my greenest ear,
The Irish bar, the half-drunk beer.
An ancient moon spun melodies,
From Hamelin, you sang to me,
You sang to me

There’s truth in your eyes,
There’s truth in your eyes,
There’s truth in your eyes,
But you clipped my wings as I made to fly.

Too many nights I’ve stood outside
And watched electric souls collide.
Those childish arms with younger minds,
Such jealous words to hide behind,
We wore our insides on our sleeves,
And we turned our backs on our families.

I trusted your eyes,
I trusted your eyes,
I trusted your eyes,
But you clipped my wings as I made to fly,
And for ever more I will wonder why.
