colm egan – the deerpark mines lyrics
the deerpark mines lyrics
walking by the deerpark baths
boys turned to men and never turned back
and the ghosts who haunt these places
smiling n0ble blackened faces
cigarettes in the pockets
and prayers were said
a chesty cough to wake the dead
deep beneath the stony ground
cast into the shadow bound
and it gets so cold you can hardly breathe
and it gets so dark you can barely see
till it leaves your veins run black as night
deep in the deerpark mines
now my father worked here all his life
he spent it lifting anthracite
at 12 years old i left behind my school
i went down and i worked the mines too
and it gets so cold you can hardly breathe
and it gets so dark you can barely see
till it leaves your veins run black as night
deep in the deerpark mines
there’s a dirty breeze blowin’
in the shadow of bell’s heap
past the rundown buildings
and all those memories
and as i sit and think of my old friends
with a pick in hand in the dark again
and it gets so cold you can hardly breathe
and it gets so dark you can barely see
till it leaves your veins run black as night
deep in the deerpark mines
