Liam Frost – The Mourners Of St Paul lyrics

The Mourners of St Paul

Let the sky grow dark
With a heavy heart
Let the funeral start x2

Suddenly it seemed
Love is just a dream
On a TV screen
In a magazine

Mother, please hold on
Brother, please be strong
Let me play this song
We all sang along
I see trees of green, red roses too
Scattered out for you
On a grey stone tomb

I'm 12 years older
I can’t stay sober
And there’s a bluebird in my heart
That’s caged and it can’t sing
So fill your bloodlines up with bourbon, kid
And this wont sting
It’s like the slowing of your senses just might solve something
Let the mourners of St Paul lead the parade

Suddenly it seems
I'm settled in my old routines
I know the years have gone
I still sing the same sad song
So when the smoke has finally cleared
I'm gonna swim away from here
And wake my father’s bones
And drag his ghost into the roads

This house could hold nothing but melodies
So somber, such miserable memories
Three cheers for love of the simplest kind
Let’s drink to all that we left behind

Suddenly it seems
I'm settled in my old routines
I know the years have gone
I still sing the same sad song
Let the sky grow dark
With a heavy heart
Let the funeral start x2
