Pogues, The - Tombstone Lyrics






The night is dark, the moon is full
Across the blood red plain
Every step and every breath
Brings me nearer home
The spirits watch me on my way
They whisper on the wind
And when the dawn lights up the sky
I'll see my land again

A hot wind blows the scrub and dust
across the barren land
Trees stand bare like skeletons
The mountains all torn down
The water holes are dry as bones
No birds are singing now
And faraway a city stands
Tombstones against the sky
Jem Finer

    The only thing I don't like about this song is it's over before you know it.

    yea from the moment I heard it, the week the album came out, I thought the same, and still haunting all those years later and still too damned short
