The Bride Stripped Bare lyrics

Well I rush out blazin'
My pulse is racin'
As the rain streams down my face
There's no turning back now
To fight with fate
Outnumbered, out of place
They said go west young man, that's best
It's there you'll feel no pain
Bel-Air's okay if you dig the grave
But I want to live again
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must ride like the storm
Can't let go

(Traditional).

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see my love before I die
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I wings so I could fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To carry me over my love and I
In Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones as black as ink

(Ferry)

Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
We live we die
We laugh we cry
We know not why
Lipstick ´n leather wear ´n tear
Of another sign of the times
We´re chained and bound
Hard lines, crack down
On stony ground
Here is a taste of here and now
Red is the bloody sign of the times
The bride stripped bare
Of all despair

(Green/Hodges)

I don´t know why I love you like I do
After the things that you put me through
You stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven´t see hide nor hair of you yet
I wanna know, won´t you tell me
I´d really love to stay...
Take me to the river, and wash me down
She cleans my soul
Put my feet on the ground
I don´t know why you treated me so bad

(Jamison)

If I was a songbird way up there
I´d go with love most everywhere
I´ll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I´m still around
That´s how strong my love is, that´s how strong my love is
That´s how strong my love is, that´s how strong my love is
I´d be the weeping willow drowning in my tears

(J.J.Cale)

Have you heard that rumour that´s going around?
You got it made, way across town
It´s the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Yes I heard the news, it´s the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway but you was gone
I took a lot of time and let the telephone ring

(Ferry)

So I send an SOS
Semaphore myself
Catch me falling finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere this sound
Screams whisper "I can´t breathe"
I feel it in my bones
Though I know I´m not alone
You´re spinning far too far from me
So cruel to be so kind
Now I know I´ll always find
This island earth
A mystery
As I stumble through the dark

(Reed)

What goes on
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
I'm going up, and I'm going down.
I'm going from side to side.
See the bells, up in the sky,

(Ferry)

When she walks in the room
Then you know
Why your date says it´s late
Time to go
And you know you can´t leave
You must stay
'Til her laughter has drifted away
So you talk to the walls
Always know
´Cause they´ve seen it all
And heart it all before
And your fair weather friends
Fail to speak
They´re so afraid still waters run deep

Don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me when the times are bad
When the day comes
And you are down
In a reveal of trouble
And bite the ground
Hold on I'm coming
Hold on I'm coming
Hold on I'm coming

I was always be your lover
If you get cold I'll be your cover
Don't have to worry, don't have to fear
You don't have to suffer baby
'Cause I'm here
Hold on I'm coming
Hold on I'm coming
