Faithfully Departed (Live) - Christy Moore[00:00:01]
This graveyard hides a million secrets [00:00:34]
And the trees know more than they can tell [00:00:37]
The ghosts of the saints and the scholars will haunt you [00:00:40]
In heaven and in hell [00:00:43]
Rattled by the glimmer man the boogie man the holy man [00:00:46]
And livin' in the shadows in the shadows of a gunman [00:00:49]
Rattled like the coppers in your greasy till [00:00:51]
Rattled until time stood still [00:00:54]
Look over your shoulder hear the school bell ring [00:00:57]
Another day of made-to-measure history [00:01:00]
I don't care if your heroes have wings [00:01:01]
Your terrible beauty has been torn [00:01:05]
Faithful departed we fickle hearted [00:01:08]
As you are now so once were we [00:01:14]
Faithful departed we the meek hearted [00:01:21]
With graces imparting bring flowers to thee [00:01:27]
The girls in the kips proclaim their love for you[00:01:34]
When you stumbled in they knew you had a shilling or two [00:01:37]
They cursed you on Sundays and holy days of abstinence [00:01:40]
When you all stayed away [00:01:44]
When you slept there a naked bulb hid your shame [00:01:45]
Your shadows on the wall they took all the blame [00:01:48]
The Sacred Heart's picture compassion in his eyes [00:01:51]
Drowned out the river of sighs [00:01:54]
Let the grass grow green over the brewery tonight [00:01:57]
It'll never come between the darkness and the light [00:01:59]
There is no pain that can't be eased [00:02:02]
By the devil's holy water and the rosary beads [00:02:05]
Faithful departed we fickle hearted [00:02:11]
As you are now so once were we [00:02:15]
Faithful departed we the meek hearted [00:02:23]
With graces imparting bring flowers to thee [00:02:28]
You're a history book I never could write [00:02:57]
Poetry in paralysis too deep to recite [00:03:00]
Dress yourself bless yourself you've won the fight [00:03:03]
We're gonna celebrate the night [00:03:05]
We'll even climb the pillar like you always meant to [00:03:08]
Watch the sun rise over the strand [00:03:11]
Close your eyes and we'll pretend [00:03:14]
It could somehow be the same again [00:03:16]
I'll bury you upright so the sun doesn't blind you [00:03:19]
You won't have to gaze at the rain and the stars [00:03:22]
Sleep and dream of chapels and bars [00:03:25]
And whiskey in the jar [00:03:27]
Faithful departed look what you've started;[00:03:33]
An underdog's wounds aren't so easy to mend [00:03:37]
Faithful departed there's no broken hearted [00:03:44]
And no more tristesse in your world without end[00:03:49]
