John Spillane - Текст песни The madwoman of cork
To-day
Is the feast day of Saint Anne
Pray for me
I am the madwoman of Cork.
Yesterday
In Castle Street
I saw two goblins at my feet
I saw a horse without a head
Carrying the dead
To the graveyard
Near Turner's cross.
I am the madwoman of Cork
No one talks to me.
When I walk in the rain
The children throw stones at me
Old men persecute me
And women close their doors.
When I die
Believe me
They'll set me on fire.
I am the madwoman of Cork
I have no sense.
Sometimes
With an eagle in my brain
I can see a train
Crashing at the station.
If I told people that
They'd choke me -
Then where would I be?
I am the madwoman of Cork
The people hate me.
When Canon Murphy died
I wept on his grave
That was twenty-five years ago.John Spillane - The madwoman of cork - http://ru.motolyrics.com/john-spillane/the-madwoman-of-cork-lyrics.html
When I saw him just now
In Dunbar Street
He had clay in his teeth
He blest me.
I am the madwoman of Cork
The clergy pity me.
I see death
In the branches of a tree
Birth in the feathers of a bird.
To see a child with one eye
Or a woman buried in ice
Is the worst thing
And cannot be imagined
I am the madwoman of Cork
My mind fills me.
I should like to be young
To dress up in silk
And have nine children.
I'd like to have red lips
But I'm eighty years old
I have nothing
But a small house with no windows
I am the madwoman of Cork
Go away from me.
And if I die now
Don't touch me.
I want to sail in a long boat
From here to Roches Point
And there I will anoint the sea
With oil of alabaster.
I am the Madwoman of Cork
And to-day is the feast day of
Saint Anne.
Feed me.
