Yes she found her footsteps failing
|
Falling falling from the sky
|
Down from Bangor with her eagles
|
Stepping out before her time
|
She did cry and she did fly
|
Round and round the swollen sky
|
Lightning for those mountain sides
|
And the miller never showed her
|
A face that didn't know
|
|
Then that concert sang a long way
|
Here and there to Swansea Bay
|
More and more the tides ran with it
|
Murder Mary come and gone
|
Folded arms and Christendom
|
Shields and molten falcon heads
|
And the miller never showed her
|
A face that didn't know
|
|
(Chorus)
|
It's a long long time - to go
|
|
Then came Xmas moving slowly
|
Slowly crossing out the chimes
|
Shutting out her father's women
|
Broken women on her side
|
Give her give her all she wants
|
Safely with her alphabet
|
On that morning she did leave
|
And he never would have shown
|
Her a face that didn't know
|
