The Night They Buried Sadie Clay lyrics

No tears were spent

The night they buried Sadie Clay

No silence swept

Across the factory floors

That old ill wind

Just sang its song

And then the world moved on

No saintly glow

Awaits the fate of Sadie Clay

They found her cold

A bottle by the bed

In younger years

A cheap embrace

Could set her heart apace

Two empty arms to grace

Why don't you dance?

The kisses sworn to failure

Cross breaking waves

Into the great unsung

Until your days are done

Through lumbering limbs

She tried to pass a part in

And as they rose

Assembled in the hearse

A done for dream

Would meet the flight

And deck the threadbare night

With bones of blinding light

Why don't you dance?

The kisses sworn to failure

Cross breaking waves

Into the great unsung

Until your days are done

Why don't you dance?

The kisses sworn to failure

Cross breaking waves

Into the great unsung

Why don't you dance?

The kisses sworn to failure

Cross breaking waves

Into the great unsung

Until your days are done
