Faithful Departed - Chrity moore[00:00:04]
This graveyard hides a million secrets [00:00:11]
And the trees know more than they can tell [00:00:13]
The ghosts of the saints and the scholars will haunt you [00:00:17]
In heaven and in hell [00:00:20]
Rattled by the glimmer man the boogie man the holy man [00:00:22]
And livin' in the shadows in the shadows of a gunman [00:00:25]
Rattled like the coppers in your greasy till [00:00:28]
Rattled until time stood still [00:00:30]
Look over your shoulder hear the school bell ring [00:00:32]
Another day of made-to-measure history [00:00:35]
I don't care if your heroes have wings [00:00:38]
Your terrible beauty has been torn [00:00:40]
Faithful departed we fickle hearted [00:00:43]
As you are now so once were we [00:00:49]
Faithful departed we the meek hearted [00:00:54]
With graces imparting bring flowers to thee [00:00:59]
The girls in the kips proclaim their love for you[00:01:04]
When you stumbled in they knew you had a shilling or two [00:01:09]
They cursed you on Sundays and holy days of abstinence [00:01:11]
When you all stayed away [00:01:14]
When you slept there a naked bulb hid your shame [00:01:17]
Your shadows on the wall they took all the blame [00:01:20]
The Sacred Heart's picture compassion in his eyes [00:01:22]
Drowned out the river of sighs [00:01:25]
Let the grass grow green over the brewery tonight [00:01:28]
It'll never come between the darkness and the light [00:01:30]
There is no pain that can't be eased [00:01:33]
By the devil's holy water and the rosary beads [00:01:36]
Faithful departed we fickle hearted [00:01:39]
As you are now so once were we [00:01:46]
Faithful departed we the meek hearted [00:01:52]
With graces imparting bring flowers to thee [00:01:57]
You're a history book I never could write [00:02:03]
Poetry in paralysis too deep to recite [00:02:07]
Dress yourself bless yourself you've won the fight [00:02:09]
We're gonna celebrate the night [00:02:12]
We'll even climb the pillar like you always meant to [00:02:14]
Watch the sun rise over the strand [00:02:18]
Close your eyes and we'll pretend [00:02:20]
It could somehow be the same again [00:02:23]
I'll bury you upright so the sun doesn't blind you [00:02:26]
You won't have to gaze at the rain and the stars [00:02:29]
Sleep and dream of chapels and bars [00:02:31]
And whiskey in the jar Faithful departed look what you've started;[00:02:34]
An underdog's wounds aren't so easy to mend [00:02:44]
Faithful departed there's no broken hearted [00:02:49]
And no more tristesse in your world without end[00:02:55]
