Karan Casey - The Yellow Furze lyrics

The yellow furze stole my heart again today The daisies in the long gra**es sway Before I stepped into his domain My heart soared and sang with the wind I stood in by the ditch where the primroses lay And thought of my good friend Jane Who has turned her life around for herself yes for herself Despite the shame of it all They had to hand it to her She's done well so they couldn't complain They waited for the fall and All the pain to come through With hearts already too broken Only to be frozen over in misery. They never said about the baby born in the barn About finding her twisted and wound up with their scorn Or the months she spent many miles oh many miles away Or the dark sungla**es worn on a winter's day We had nowhere to turn to but the skies So we followed our star around the world Now we wave and walk on each bent in our own wind The trees lean in and listen They had to hand it to her She's done well so they couldn't complain They waited for the fall and All the pain to come through With hearts already too broken Only to be frozen over in misery (Repeat first verse)
