Johnny Flynn - The Lady is Risen Lyrics
She loves full and true, as a fighting bequestShe was given her earth by a sea come to restAnd the children she bore loved this truly too muchCalloused pride come to die in our hands as we touchAnd so soften me now, let me take as it’s givenFor the wind's started up and the lady is risenIs it snowing in London and warm in your bedHave I nothing to give you, I'm cold in your headBut you're burning in mine, come to rest off the trainIn the silence you've gone and the train comes againIt’s been years since I saw you, I've learned how to liveAnd the love’s back in swing and the lady is risenTell me where have the saints gone, oh where is the pullAre they flourished in times that were guarded with woolYou know limbless they marched till they fell off the map.Are you sick of them falling like crumbs on your lapYou once told me that this isn't all that there isAnd the band started up and the lady is risen.You know life isn't always like the end of your novelsAll things might wind up but they always unravelAnd I’ll watch you with eyes that can see I can seeThat you're too good at pulling that wool over meAnd I’ll fight but there’s nothing here I find to resistAnd the winds started up and the lady is risen
