Buffalo Tom - Under Milkwood lyrics

In the sad blue light, in the deepest shade Margaret Mary saddles, all our love away The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes And underneath the ground, the mother sends the child And the rain buries the lonely night And the rain buries the lonely night And the rain buries the lonely, lonely august night Makes a crossing sign, of the Catholic kind Have the neighbors heard, what our hero enshrines The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes And underneath the flowers, the mother sends the child And the rain buries the lonely night And the rain buries the lonely night And the rain's very cold , the rain's very cold, cold out tonight
