Lisa Hannigan - Prayer For The Dying Lyrics

Her best effort by light years............This should become a standard for all singers

This song makes me think of my cat. He's not dying, but he's over 15 years and we've had him ever since he was a kitten and I'm gonna be so sad when he goes

Blue daimond❤

I'm gonna cry,omg
So perfect💙💙💙💖

juyli bi Princess 👑 Luna 🌑 must be nearby.........

Her voice is stiil gorgeous

💞🦋ヽ♡｀♪ 💞🦋ヽ♡｀♪

A prayer for the dying
For the waves coming in
And washing the edges
The edges away from within

Your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart

A prayer for the dying
Oh, the sun coming up
To fill all the corners
So misunderstood

Of your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart
[x2]

Simply Beautiful.. What a Voice!!

Been listenin' it forever. So beautiful. OH MY FUCKIN GOD!

Out of this world.

Blue Diamond's Song of Lamentation for Pink Diamond

Amazingly gorgeous.

In paradise....

Blue Diamond's Song for Pink Diamond's funeral

If there was a church for each of the Diamonds, I feel like that would be a song sung in Blue's church.

Niklas Universe Interesting idea since the Diamonds' themes remind me of the music from churches

Sounds like her part of the corruption song tbh

Pure beauty. Thank you Lisa.

mm yes very nice

This is the actual lyrics for this song:

[Verse 1]
A prayer for the dying
For the waves coming in
And washing the edges
The edges away from within

[Chorus]
Your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart

[Verse 2]
A prayer for the dying
Oh, the song coming out
To feel all the coldness
So misunderstood

[Chorus x2]
Of your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart

Utterly adore and the live version also a lovely artist

This has to be the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[Verse 1]
A prayer for the dying
For the waves coming in
And washing the edges
The edges away from within

[Chorus]
Your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart[Verse 2]
A prayer for the dying
Oh, the song coming out
To feel all the coldness
So misunderstood

[Chorus x2]
Of your heart
My heart
Your heart
My heart

Makes me bawl my fuckin' eyes out.

Entire StevenBomb 5 has leaked

And she was amazing in that role!

Song of the year!

My sister passed away on xmas eve in Ireland, listening to this in America .

Reminds me of Jewel's "Angel Standing By"....Hauntingly Beautiful.......

I can't get stop playing this album.

I just bought this album so I can listen in my car now!! I can't get enough of her!! I don't like any songs they play on the radio anyways!!

Seeing Lisa do this live was amazing, Jaw dropping & beautiful.👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful song. ☆Transcendent☆. :-)

just so Irish...HAUNTINGLY beautiful.

Lovely - but does remind me of Connie Francis - Who Sorry Now?

We missed your Beautiful Angelic Voice!!!! This song makes the Soul Cry!!!

Weird, this song was released the day before my grandfather passed. It's a beautiful tune.

Very special - powerful stuff, great vocal - a rare find

feeling "true love waits" from Radiohead listening to this

Flawless . akin to THIS MORTAL COIL and SONG TO THE SIREN ...........

Just heard this on the Radio. It's very rare these days that something grabs my attention - this did! Just when I thought music was dying, there's always something that surprises me. Perhaps there's hope yet eh?

thank you Lisa for creating a beautiful song for my dying mothers transitional phase into Heaven from here. it was the last song she ever heard on June 24, 2016 she passed from a long battle with brain cancer. thank you it's the most beautiful song I've ever heard almost like the Angels themselves were singing it calling her home

So very sorry for you loss!!! what a Perfect
Peaceful song to bring home to Heaven...
Bless you <3

Oh soooo beautiful

A long awaited recording so worth the wait.

Another gorgeous gem from the very talented Lisa Hannigan... Very different from the material ( no pun intended ) of Sea Sew.

Beautiful

This will play at the end credits of some of the best movies ever made.
Mark my words!

lisa thank you so much for your music its beautiful as always <3

I really like your songs!! Oh my.. I can't explain how i thrilled

Definite shades of Patsy Cline/KD Lang harmony love child. Sumptuous.

Bloody LOVE this, to the 6 people who gave this beautiful tune the thumbs down, you need to have a word with yourself and maybe go and get a hearing test!

Don’t judge them. Look at the person above, who said it is depressing. This song can easily trigger sad feelings, and for some, it becomes impossible to see, that it’s not the song that made them feel bad, but their past. That’s one reason why someone could downvote this. … I am not willing to look down on them. I just wish them something beautiful in their life, so they can be happy again and enjoy this song too. I think you wanted to do the same, if your past wouldn’t make you unable to tolerate them either.

Nah not really, got nothing to do with past etc... I am so tolerant in my life ... this is a beautifully sung track, people will read all types of shite into songs if they want. I just take it how it is.

+Evi1M4chine you are a lovely person

a prayer for the dying
for the waves coming in
and washing the edges
the edges away from within
of your heart
my heart
your heart
my heart

a prayer for the dying
for the sun coming up
to feel all opponent
so misunderstood
of your heart
my heart
your heart
my heart

your heart
my heart
your heart
my heart

Missing a line .... Feel all the colors

I will see you in Munich. You'll be performing there again, won't you?

♡.♡ 😊

Love you Lisa! So excited for your new music!

So happy to get new music from Lisa, but even more excited at the prospect of a new tour. I've been living in the US for the last 18 months and just craving to see her live again. If you come state side Lisa I'll be first in line to see you! Take me home with your voice <3

Love it.

Would love to understand what she is singing. Looked for the Lyrics of this song and 3 places have them totally wrong, they have some other song from Iron maiden (hello?) Is anybody paying attention to these things? Love her music so much, what a disservice to find Iron maiden lyrics......

Ask _her_. I doubt she wouldn’t want people to know what she actually sings. :)

Love, love, love...nice to see you back Lisa! Can' wait to see you again on stage.

Damn, this song is depressing.

I think it is just letting you let it out.
Hey, remember you’re not alone in this. No matter how you feel. We might not be there right now, but somewhere on the world, we work to make this better. This is my promise to you.

Beautiful , as Always!

August can't come any sooner... :/ Come to Greece Lisa

so good

I've waited so much to hear you again :3

😢 wonderful

Immediately pre-ordered the album... I've been waiting for your comeback five years. Glad to have you back. Hope to see you in Greece sometime!

Love your angel voice

So excited! Missed you!

Patsy Cline! Beautiful. Welcome back, Lisa.

Beautiful...so emotional

Thank-you once again, NPR. Amazingly beautiful.

You should appear with your magnificent grace in south america, preferably in Colombia. Love you and the part of you that you let in your work❤️

Can you please release your new album in South Korea as well?😭😭😭

The only ones who’d profit from that, would be the Content Mafia. Artists barely get anything from the albums. Their money comes from concerts and merchandise. So you can as well just download it and go to a concert, and you’d given her more than any albums you could ever buy would give her, _and_ give her more power against the organized crime ripping her off.
