The Long Meadows

[Verse 1]
I fell to sleep
I dreamed a love and it came to me
The long meadows
River slips
Sliding down a lucky dip

[Verse 2]
And when a stream
Boy pucked hurley-ball
Into the dog's mouth
In dying, made boy bigger
That's how the hound got in us
The bed bare where river dry
Great Irish famine suit
And tie

[Verse 3]
I fell to sleep
I dreamed a love and it came to me
The long meadows
River slips
Neverending peak and dip

Ah - Ie

[Bridge]
O my friend
I'm so tired
And weary
Trauma's own baby
Old as oak
Great Irish joke
The hunger
Spoke
The dying drained their river
That's how it got in us
That's how it got in us
That's how it got in us
The bed bare where river dry

[Outro]
Locked out
Locked out
Locked out
Locked out
Of the next life
