about

A song to honour the legacy of Sinéad O'Connor

lyrics

I can barely wash the dishes
can barely stand
I'm watching you sing
and it's changing all of my plans

I was trying to clean the house
but you've melted my head
I need to pause
I need to cry
spend the day with you instead

You pull me down to the ground
to dance with the snakes
you offer your whole self
and a sip of your shake
any fool with hands
can make a camera lie
they can't summon thunder
can't summon lightning
can't summon healing from the sky

Dreamt you were only sleeping
you'd be back in a few weeks
Mis come down from the mountain
to kiss gentle Dubh Ruis
with the blue eyes
and he'd bathe you in the stream
so the land could sing and scream
through its queen

Will we see your face on a postage stamp?
will we read your name in a history book?
I don't think so
but there's no need
you are known by the people you freed

Dreamt you were only sleeping
you'd be back in a few weeks
Mis come down from the mountain
to kiss gentle Dubh Ruis
with the blue eyes
and he'd bathe you in the stream
so the land could sing and scream
through its queen
