Song Of Lies - Karan Casey

And her mouth was as red

As the fresh fallen snow

The day she told me again

How another man’s love

Was as white as a raven’s

While mine was blacker than blood

How another man’s love

Was as white as a raven’s

While mine was blacker than blood

And I asked if she knew for sure

That the rain in her eyes

Would never run dry

Till the flames of the sun

Ran like ice in her veins

And froze the door to her heart

Till the flames of the sun

Ran like ice in her veins

And froze the door to her heart

And she told me the last time

As if for the first time

If the world turns away from the sun

Then nothing and never

Will always be true

And that she would forever be mine

Then nothing and never

Will always be true

And that she would forever be mine

And I swear that the sun

In her eyes turned to stone

Her dress was as white as the moon

The priest told me nothing

And no one was true

And that she would forever be mine

The priest told me nothing

And no one was true

And that she would forever be mine

Oh the blackened sole

Of her small bright shoe

Has left it’s mark

In the long white hall

Of my heart
