Tom Flannery - Miner Boy lyrics

I heard his whistling fading away like sleep into dreams Instead of 'I Love You' he'd say 'You know what I mean' I'd watch the sun he'd rarely see put red on the cheeks of a child Disappear like his white skin with eyes shining wild Chorus: I'm in love with a miner boy I'm in love with a miner boy I'm in love with a miner boy I'm in love with a miner boy Everyday that lonesome whistle blows Everyday this helpless feeling grows I do dead work all day long and on Sunday bow my head I know the Lord's to busy for me so I pray for the coal instead Breaker roar might wake up some but I sleep with eyes on the door And love will only lay me down when I hear boots on the floor (chorus)
