The Son Never Shines (on Closed Doors) Lyrics - Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly

I saw her there fade from afar 

Her hair gray charcoal takes a drag from her tar 

I kissed her a smile but her blood red shot eye 

Said the son never shines on closed doors 

It's been eight long years since I saw 

The woman who's labored since the day I was born 

These wrinkles now face to that cold dark damp place 

Where the son never shines on closed doors 

She said, the son never shines on closed doors 

I open to find only hurricanes blow 

Take me away to the green fields of May 

Because the son never shines on closed doors 

Death comes like a thief in the night 

To steal while you sleep the soul's flickering light 

Well, maybe it's then, she said, I'll see you again 

'Cause the son never shines on closed doors 

She said, the son never shines on closed doors 

I open to find only hurricanes blow 

Take me away to the green fields of May 

Because the son never shines on closed doors 

And we all go the same way home 

Yeah, we all go the same way home 

(Yeah, we all go the same way home)
