The Soul of Patrick Lee

Lyrics for The Soul of Patrick Lee

Yes, she found her footsteps failing Falling, falling from the sky Down from Bangor with her eagles Stepping out before her time And 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 A murder Mary come and gone Folded arms and Christendom Shields and molten falcon heads And that miller never showed her A face that didn't know It's a long, long time It's a long time It's a long, long time to go Then, came Christmas moving slowly Slowly crossing out the chimes Shutting out her father's women Broken women on her side Give her, give, give her all she wants And safely with her alphabet On that morning she did leave And he never would have shown her A face that didn't know
