Laura Veirs - Dorothy of the Island lyrics
[Laura Veirs - Dorothy of the Island lyrics]
Dorothy of the island
Dove down, dove down deep silenced all the
And now she sleeps
Her two sons left behind above
Living in a cabin with their dad
Who loves them
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Dorothy of the island
Fell into a well inside her head
Maybe it was something in her blood
That poisoned her instead
The truth is she could not be saved
The hermit's in the city mark a grave
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
I've known the cold, the loneliness
The walking snowy lips of blue
Surely nothing like the chill that
Dorothy of the island knew
So let us pull the curtains wide
And watch the pouring of the morning light
So let us pull the curtains wide
And watch the pouring of the morning light
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Dove down, dove down deep silenced all the
And now she sleeps
Her two sons left behind above
Living in a cabin with their dad
Who loves them
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Dorothy of the island
Fell into a well inside her head
Maybe it was something in her blood
That poisoned her instead
The truth is she could not be saved
The hermit's in the city mark a grave
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
I've known the cold, the loneliness
The walking snowy lips of blue
Surely nothing like the chill that
Dorothy of the island knew
So let us pull the curtains wide
And watch the pouring of the morning light
So let us pull the curtains wide
And watch the pouring of the morning light
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother's dead
