lyrics

I've been drinking sky and eating mud
sentimental moments overdubbed again
hands upon the Tipperary Sand
since the day you left our house to rot
I've been trying to figure out just what to say
tempt the lady back into the lake
and in your mother's eyes
you'll see the disappointment and surprise
to find her daughter's face
disfigured and deformed from all the lies
so if you ever call I'll be sure to tell your man
that a stranger shed a tear on the Tipperary Sand
foul and evil things have come to pass
I will pray you found some greener grass ahead
to honor and remember what is dead
village people wondering where you've gone
shame on heroes victims criminals one and all at once
fire burning like a thousand suns
and in your father's eyes
evil cruelty aside
is an empty hollow shell
covered in forgotten love and pride
so if you ever call I'll be sure to tell your man
that a stranger shed a tear on the Tipperary Sand
and when you come back home
stepping through the laurels and the stones
I won't be there, my little girl
waiting for a noose around my throat
so don't you call my name on the Tipperary Sand
this love is gone, misused, forlorn
and you'll wonder where I've gone when I've left you
broken, crying on the Tipperary Sand
