About
This is a faithfully styled arrangement of a traditional song. This is something Kevin Rowland would do more often with Dexys when he began using the band name again twenty years later.
This song was the b-side to Because of You, the band’s theme tune for the sitcom Brush Strokes.
Kathleen Mavourneen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kathleen Mavourneen, the grey dawn is breaking
The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill
The lark from her light wing
The bright dew is shaking
Oh Kathleen Mavourneen
Why slumber you still?
[Chorus 1]
Oh hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever?
Oh hast thou forgotten the day we must part?
It may be for years
And it may be forever
Then why art thou silent
Voice of my heart?
It may be for years
It may be forever
Then why art thou silent
Kathleen Mavourneen?
[Verse 2]
Kathleen Mavourneen, awake from thy slumbers
The blue mountains glow, in the sun's golden light
Ah, where is the spell
That once hung on my numbers?
Arise in thy beauty
The star of my night
[Chorus 2]
Mavourneen, Mavourneen
My sad tears are falling
To think that from Erin
And thee I must part
It may be for years and it may be forever
Then why art thou silent
Voice of my heart
Oh, it may be for years
It may be forever
Ah, then why art thou silent
