jackie leven - marble city bar lyrics

Loading...

if you ever go to the marble city
of kilkenny in the month of may
remember me to the banks of the river
where i first noticed i was fading away…

there is a castle with children a-playing
there is a father who will say h-llo
he doesn’t have to- that’s just the way he’s feeling-
and that’s such a long way to go

(chorus)
oh don’t pick me ‘cos i’m not playing
i’m just staring into sp-ce
i can’t hear a single word you’re saying
there’s nothing happening behind this face

i’m just a man and i’m on my own
i hear strange news from another star
i’m just a man and i’m on my own
dreaming of the marble city bar

(spoken word)
“he’s maybe just left, i’m not sure
i think some saw him just going outside”

well i crossed the bridge
and i walked down slowly
through the reeds to the watermill
the sun was cold in the time of losing
i stood all alone in the irish chill
i was tempted there to take my life
the water flashed by like the blade of a knife
the roar of the river rose up to the sky
and knew n0body would hear my cry…

(spoken word)
“hey jackie – we were looking for you
you’ll catch your death out here
and your beer’s getting cold –
so why don’t you come back in?”

(chorus)
