Under Milkwood - Buffalo Tom

In the sad blue light, in the deepest shade

Margaret Mary saddles, all our love away

The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes

And underneath the ground, the mother sends the child

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain buries the lonely, lonely august night

Makes a crossing sign, of the Catholic kind

Have the neighbors heard, what our hero enshrines

The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes

And underneath the flowers, the mother sends the child

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain’s very cold, the rain’s very cold, cold out tonight
