Down to the glen where the roses twine
Lie in the grass watch the time go by
The hum drum mid-afternoon sun
Only his mothers only son Black Jack tarmac dirt dust trap
Sister certain wrapped in rags
Whispers words of un-wished schemes
Steal a smile from the scorpions dream She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
We're out of sight
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night Blood red love, not temptress eyes
Cuts right through the family ties
Lighthouse lights the locust nest
Salem's site invites incest Back to the glen where the roses twine
Treacle tarts and turpentine
Patron saint of guillotines
A secret's safe when no one sees She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
We're out of sight
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night She said don't worry
She said don't worry
She said don't worry
We're out of sight
She sings the mourning
In the quiet night
