The Black Sorrows - Storm Wind lyrics

There's a storm wind Blowin' through this town It's a long, long way to where I am bound And my heart beats Like a ragged drum To where my lover is waiting I'll carry this song Watch the wild birds fly Into the turning light Feel the ghost of the past Turn in me like a knife If I had my way I'd be in your arms tonight But I'm stuck here in Charlestown See the midnight train pullin' Out of sight Oh mamma can you hear me call? In the distant wind So keep a candle burnin' Cause I'll be back again And I swear to God almighty This place can burn in hell So keep the candle burnin' And ring that freedom bell As the cold grey snow Is fallin' all around So many roads, so many dreams Are haunting me now And I would give everything I have To hold you once again Well you shelter me Will you carry me Oh mamma can you hear me call? In the distant wind So keep a candle burnin' Cause I'll be back again And I swear to God almighty This place can burn in hell So keep the candle burnin' And ring that freedom bell There's a storm wind Blowin' through this town It's a long, long way to where I am bound And my heart beats Like a ragged drum To where my lover is waiting I'll carry this song (Camilleri Polec – Rondor Warner Chappell )
