The Mad Lady and Me

歌詞

Among the walls and ruins Of the horrid civic stone I walked without a lover For my older bones The sun was strong in going down It was a dreamlike day It was there we met the trinity And there I heard them saying And she said bye bye Mama Goodbye brother John Fare thee well ye Shandon bells Ring on, ring on She leaned and leaned much closer And she hugs them all goodbye Her mother cried "don't go my love" We all must bye and bye A drunken tongue said "leave her off" She'll drive us all crazy She turned around and saw my face And both of us was she And she said bye bye Mama Goodbye brother John Fare thee well ye Shandon bells Ring on, ring on Up and to the limestone wall And down the level steps She threw herself into the stream With a splash and no regrets Side stroke swimming midstream Throwing kisses to the crowd And everything was silent And the sky had not one cloud And she said bye bye Mama Goodbye brother John Fare thee well ye Shandon bells Ring on, ring on We were swimming out in the sunset, We were swimming out to sea, Swimming down by the Opera House The Mad Lady and me.
