Flogging Molly, Noel O’Donovan - The Spoken Wheel lyrics
[Flogging Molly, Noel O’Donovan - The Spoken Wheel lyrics]
Your passing broke the silence on
That dark October day
The sun was heading for the west
As it did I heard you say
I set my sail for a gentle breeze
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be
And you did you listen
To anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?
Though now it seems you'll never know
But every lad to a man must grow
Till winter comes to celebrate then
Proudly chills the bone
When at last they bury me
Into this ground you'll someday see and you
Did you listen to anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?
Though the faces we wear
Sometimes seldom speaks
From the babe that cries to
This grown man's feet
May the hand still write and
It's heart shape keep
Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree
That dark October day
The sun was heading for the west
As it did I heard you say
I set my sail for a gentle breeze
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be
And you did you listen
To anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?
Though now it seems you'll never know
But every lad to a man must grow
Till winter comes to celebrate then
Proudly chills the bone
When at last they bury me
Into this ground you'll someday see and you
Did you listen to anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?
Though the faces we wear
Sometimes seldom speaks
From the babe that cries to
This grown man's feet
May the hand still write and
It's heart shape keep
Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree
