Junior Brother - The Long Meadows lyrics

I fell to sleep
I dreamed a love and it came to me
The long meadows river slips
Sliding down a lucky dip

And when a stream boy pucked hurley ball
Into the dog's mouth
In dying, made boy bigger
That's how the hound got in us
The bed bare where river dry
Great Irish famine suit and tie

I fell to sleep
I dreamed a love and it came to me
The long meadows river slips
Neverending peak and dip

Ah - Ie

O my friend i'm so tired
And weary trauma's own baby
Old as oak great Irish joke
The hunger spoke
The dying drained their river
That's how it got in us
That's how it got in us
That's how it got in us
The bed bare where river dry

Locked out locked out
Locked out locked out
Of the next life
