lirik lagu hardy & massengill/the folk brothers – maeve
[verse 1]
brave the cold as it boldly blows the street signs
maeve, this city makes you dream of county clare
where the winter is nowhere near as cold
and wealth is no longer held in cattle
[verse 2]
crave the arms of the man who brought you here
maeve, it’s not that he lied, he never said he’d stay
as he raided the only treasure you had left
it’s not that he’s bad, only that you believed him
[bridge]
back home in county clare
the nuns still haunt dreams with their stares
the ghost of irish learned in school
the cattle raid of cooley
and a ruler broken on the knuckles
sister bernadette, sister bernadette
i am not ready yet for confession
[verse 3]
slavery is long ago, saint patrick or south boston
maeve stares at the cornrows in his hair
thinks of her auntie off in the missions in africa
while the uncles put staves of barley to better use
[verse 4]
maeve, it is time to go to work amongst the drunken fools
brave their lovelorn glances, their unfilled glasses gaping
that cave before they rolled the stone away
before the stork brought something you could not show your mother
[bridge]
back home in county clare
the nuns still haunt dreams with their stares
the ghost of irish learned in school
the cattle raid of cooley
and a ruler broken on the knuckles
sister bernadette, sister bernadette
i am not ready yet for resurrection
[verse 5]
maeve of the unsung gratuities hung in noisy air
save your money, save your soul if you dare
say i will be there, i will be there in county clare
where wealth is no longer held in cattle
