jocelyn - all the queen's horses lyrics

Loading...

in a ballroom at the belfry, where swans all sit and stare
there was a young girl they called jocelyn and jocelyn was everywhere

a brooklyn heart and ballroom soul and a wanderer in full flight
she’d sing ave maria to brooklyn at night

a footloose queen and a transient rose, and an orphan of ireland
the world loved jocelyn this queen of long island

and she understood the river of life and she understood this young*
she understood the darker parts in the songs that she sung

and she travelled, travelled, travelled, through the united states
of america, looking for some galliant heart, this wandering
evangelical

she could bring you down, down, down
she could spin you all around, around, round; watch her disappear

and all the city lights in dublin, and the storm clouds on clare
they’re calling out to america and all she has there

and all her wolves cry for jocelyn, and her wings to take flight
but she sings ave maria to brooklyn at night. she sings ave maria to brooklyn at night

and all the cellos seemed to follow her like the neon lights on
bowery. there was energy in the streets, and a new music they called rnb
this perpetuated post war rise brought a social class arpeggio
and they all had refrigerators and jocelyn had a radio

and the beatles, dylan and the rolling stones changed the music there for a century

jocelyn said a prayer when they shot john f kennedy. and an irish soul, and a marxist priest, and an orphan they called bethany
at a bedsit by mccarren park by williamsburg and broadway

and her scarlet stains and her august sky drew her sadness and screaming, a real darkness in her irish eyes and n0body could see in

and all the city lights in dublin and the storm clouds on clare
they’re calling out to america and all she has there

and all her wolves cry for jocelyn, and her wings to take flight
but she sings ave maria to brooklyn at night
she sings ave maria to brooklyn at night

and a tremendous scream from the bedsit screen woke the sisters of mercy

they took her cold body to the columbia infirmary

and she could bring you down, down, down. she could spin you all around, round, round; watch her disappear

all the city lights in dublin and the storm clouds on clare
they’re calling out to america and all she has there
all her wolves cry for jocelyn and her wings to take flight
but she sings ave maria to brooklyn tonight
she sings ave maria to brooklyn tonight
