May the Living Be Dead (In Our Wake) Lyrics

I dont know why but no-one seems to have tabbed this in the whole world
So i thought id do it
Im not sure its perfect but its good enough for me
Great song by a great band
Said her name was marie
D (ring)
From the banks of the lee
G (ring)
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen
Bm (ring) A (ring)
Her hair like ripples
D (ring)
They danced with the tide
G (ring)
As our hearts washed away to the sea
D (ring) A (ring) D (ring)
Was she sent down from the heavens above
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
And I laugh as the tears wash the rain
Tell me why no one`s listenin?
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake
One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ we're alive
Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight
Till the mornin' came fresh with a new
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang the clown
We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and my frown
Where over the hills where the valleys will ring
To the sound of our love singin' true
Tell me why no one`s listenin?
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake
But the summer sun is melting now
With the leaves i`ll soon be gone
Will you have the strength when the emptiness
Shadows fall
Or will your aching heart be ripped apart
By the beating from the storm
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone
Yeah be gone... be gone
Was she sent down from the heavens above
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune
And I laugh as the tears wash the rain
Tell me why no one`s listenin?
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake
Tell me why no one`s listenin?
Is there nothing at all left to say
In a world so unforgiving
You mean more to me each every day
So may the living be dead in our wake
