From the recording Miss Scarlett and the Madmen: Dark Love Songs
Lyrics
Black Sunday
You only came round long enough To try and wake the dead
The fireflies were all inside Tucked safely in their beds
You made the sign of the cross Across your chest before you left The rest of us oblivious
That you had came and went
I myself was lost and found And trying to get some sleep When I was woken with a start To find you at my feet
All I heard was screaming
In my head and in the street
I walked alone by candlelight To see what I could see
I woke up the next morning And the secrets were revealed Some were broke and trampled Some left shivering in the fields
All were staring at the sky To see what it would say No one will ever forget This blackest of Sundays
Instrum
I’m sure that you’d be pleased to know The damage you had done
We tried our best to keep the streets All safe for everyone
We only let our guard down
Long enough to take a breath
And in you came like fire and rain
Thinking only of yourself
And in you came like fire and rain
Thinking only of yourself
And in you came like fire and rain
Thinking only of yourself
