lyrics

WOE

i saw fourteen tall black flags on the western road
and there was no one left there was nowhere else to go
so we walked back to the horses to turn around
and you were fine and light we were leaves upon the ground

but there are bullies and bastards and broadswords let’s get gone
i know you’re not one to run but the cause was never more lost
and red stars like embers low in the ash filled sky
they fall on our skin and they burn some oh my life

woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
and the rain came pouring down
and the dark clouds seemed to frown
and the rain came pouring down on me

smoke and steam in the scottish evening the northern line
the train above the water a coal black night
beautiful railway bridge of the silvery Tay
gives it up with a groan and it’s gone and suddenly away

at pluck the crow point the planks on the pebble beach
how simple sometimes to lose such a powerful thing
and i never took your love to heart i never believed
that one so young and wise could fall for me

woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
and the rain came pouring down
and the dark clouds seemed to frown
and the rain came pouring down on me

tonight the stables roll as the foals within them dream
yeah they breathe in deep through hay and straw and sleep
and i was on the air i was blown and i’ve come to rest
on your waist, your hips, your cheeks your delicate chest

and you sigh i move I try to be true i swear
the beast from the east can cut and rub me bare
but in the shade of your sun my one i'll worry less
yeah man up boy be brave and blame thyself

woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
and the rain came pouring down
and the dark clouds seemed to frown
and the rain came pouring down on me

fourteen tall black flags on the western road
braids and books and woe woe woe woe woe
now a shadow falls slow upon my heart
oh my days i never knew it so dark

oh that you were my true love
