lyrics

Oh my dear
What a little time has done to you
Oh my dear
What a little time has done to you
You’re all worked up; in such a state
Boxing at shadows, staying up late
Oh my dear
What a little time has done to you

Oh my dear
What kind of storm blew through?
Oh my dear
What kind of storm blew through?
The demagogue, the general, the priest
Who need you most but love you least
Oh my dear
What kind of storm?

Oh my dear
How did I let you down?
Oh my dear
How did I let you down?
I couldn’t hear you while I was out in the wind
I traded your life for my original sin
Oh my dear
How did I let you down?

Oh my dear
How will we put this right?
Oh my dear
How will we put this right?
Call the bonesetter, bring the hammer around
Or wait for the rain to wash it all down
Bring on the sage to show the brokers the door
Grandmother’s garden or the killing floor
Mother’s milk or a cleansing fire
Gabriel’s horn or Orpheus’s lyre
Oh my dear
How will we put this right?
