ballad of a faithful - daelove lyrics
[verse 1]
they were told that the sun would shine
on those who serve the great divine
but the people who taught them were all hopeless and numb
and the things that they knew just swallowed all their love
well he was young when he saw it for himself
in that old armchair with declining health
well if god is so good, why do they all die so young
with moonlit eyes and blood in their lungs
[chorus]
well just come back the day is almost done
and thе sick are trudging home after thе sun
and the vagabonds are all dancing on
the grave of some old poet
[verse 2]
margaret held her son so tight he could barely breathe
as the storm blew over the roof they were underneath
and she told him that it was something more
than the things that they heard outside the door
as he moved on he never lost sight
of the wind and the rain and the things she said that night
and slowly it made him sink down so deep
that soon he was stuck and had nothing to keep
[chorus]
well just come back the day is almost done
and the sick are trudging home after the sun
and the vagabonds are all traveling on
just trying to find some peace and quiet
[verse 3]
they knew him before his mind was sick
when he held her up before he broke all his limbs
and tore his hair right out of his head
in the middle of the night when he was turning in bed
he used to be something more than himself
so promising and no one could tell
that he hated the way that the old men sang
all the words that they needed to keep them sane
[chorus]
just come back the day is almost done
and the sick are trudging home after the sun
and the vagabonds are all on the run
but their faces just don’t show it
[verse 4]
when he disappeared they were all so surprised
they never did see that there was nothing in his eyes
and no one had touched his coat or his keys
and no one had seen what the moon has seen
margaret was convinced he had just gone away
and when she was ash she had nothing to say
but how the sky moves along with the time
and if you don’t see you should open your eyes
[chorus]
just come back the day is almost done
and the sick are trudging home after the sun
and the vagabonds are all moving on
just trying to find a place that’s quiet
