Saint Dymphna
Back when I was living in the QuarterYou had just moved in with Trouble's daughterI was insisting that I loved you better than herAll of the rhymes that I committedI left them to lie in the sun for a minuteI could not bear to be a sinner in your sweet nameAnd what do you mean by that?Do you mean to break my heart?Do you mean to break my heart in two?It was down on the cobblestones where I found youWay out on Rampart, by ToulouseCome on upstairs, I'll tell you my story, I'll sing you my songYou know that the cold ground was my bed last nightBlanket of clouds, stars for my nightlightAnd all that I had was a pocketful of prayers and unanswered dreamsAnd what do you mean by that?Do you mean to break my heart?Do you mean to break my heart in two?I'm calling on Dymphna to heal and protect usRemember your sisters down in this world belowLetras de cancionesI been in the trenches and I'm here to tell you it's a hard road to hoeMost of my heroes died in the gutterJohnson and Foster, MacTell and HurstonI follow them down and ride with the current that's pulling me homeAnd what do you mean by that?Do you mean to break my heart?Do you mean to break my heart in two?
