lyrics

She Sits With The Moon

She dances to songs of Sinatra,
In a dress ,she once pawned it when new,
her nails are all tall and repainted,
a glass raised in curacao blue.

She knows more of a war than a soldier,
her boys knew it too until June,
When darkness comes heavy to haunt her,
she , she just sits with the moon.

When silver cast shadows are climbing,
They find her, she dances the room,
She laughs like she knows , through the nightime ,
She, she just sits with the moon.

In a garden of overgrown memories,
planted with a man she once knew,
she hopes in the springtime to fix it,
If the sun, it would only comes through.

On a mantle of left over pictures,
in the cracking gold leaf of love,
she holds them all, ever more tightly,
a Garland, a ring and a glove.

When silver cast shadows are climbing,
They find her, she dances the room,
She laughs like she knows, through the nightime,
She, she just sits with the moon.

There's a rain on the roof of her memories,
Moments taken too soon ,
she looks like she knows, through the nighttime,
She, she just sits with the moon,
she, she just sits with the moon.

So cool to have two of the best musicians in Ireland clearly enjoying working together. Would be great to see them do a show together when we get back to some degree of normality. Style! As Stevie would say. Vincent Feeney

Dude knows how to write an intriguing lyric and pen a deceptively pretty tune. If you're a fan of rosy-cheeked folk that stays sunny whilst simultaneously staring into the abyss, then this is the record for you! Ben Harris
