the spoken wheel

Flogging Molly

Your passing broke the silence
On that dark October day
The sun as heading for the west
As I did I heard you say
I set my sail for a gentle breeze
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?
Thought now it seems you?ll never know
But every mad to a man must grow
Till winter comes to celebrate
Then proudly chills the bone
When at last they bury me
Into this ground you?ll someday see
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?
Though the face we wear
Sometimes seldom speaks
From the babe that cries
To this grown man?s feet
May the hand still write
And it?s heard shape keep
Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree
So I will pace this road til glory
Sets our broken spirit free
From every cross-soaked nail pours endless rain
With tears no eye should see
But they could fill our highest ocean
And the rivers in between
With every blade that flowers must grow then drown
With love our cruelest sea
