It's Dead - The Skallywags

She came without a farthing A babe without a name So much ado about nothing Is what she'd try to say So much ado, my lover So many games we played Through every fleeted Summer Through every precious day All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone, I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead and gone All dead All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still, I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again You know my little friend's All dead and gone Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But, please, you must forgive me I am old but still a child All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope, I breathe Of course, I don't believe You're dead and gone All dead and gone

A whole year passed without much at all We lived the high life, but I had to watch you fall And I know you did what you had to do But I was left like you my friend, it's true We belong up here together I always had a hand held out When we get so silly, and we shake about I know you were alone Picture me on that night bus home It's all around me But I miss the boy and we always had a hand held out Had such bright dreams but that light went out I know you were alone Picture me on that night bus home It's all around me But I miss the boy, I miss the brandy (Oh!) A whole year passed without much at all And my friend you still remain 'Cause I can read your tale through the carpet stains And I know you did what you had to do But I was lost you without you, my friend it's true We belong up here together I always had a hand held out When we get so silly, and we shake about I know you were alone Picture me on that night bus home It's all around me But I miss the boy and we always had a hand held out Had such bright dreams but that light went out Now he's got himself a home and I'm the one that's all alone It's all around me But I miss the boy, I miss the brandy (I want you like before!)
