St. Patrick's Day Lyrics - Singles - Oh Susanna

Alone in my room 

The morning that you loved me 

A sweet salt perfume 

Gently swept around me 

The bed became a sailing ship 

The floor became the sea 

And you became an ocean bird 

And flew away from me 

I lie in my room 

Delicate and broken 

A dark echo looms 

Of pretty words you'd spoken 

Listing in my sailing ship 

Upon the wine-dark sea 

Sheets of red in brine and sweat 

And no one at the wheel 

Over the waves now 

I call to you to come and rescue me 

But you're far away now 

So forever I'll go drifting out to sea 

I locked up my room 

And everything you'd opened 

Sewed up my wound 

To prove that you're forgotten 

But I'll feast for you each year in spring 

When birds begin to sing 

When everything, yes, everything 

Oh, everything is green 

Over the waves now 

I call to you to come and comfort me 

But you're far away now 

So your pretty face nevermore I'll see 

No, your pretty face nevermore I'll see
