Turkish Song Of The Damned Lyrics - If I Should Fall From Grace With God - Pogues

I come old friend from hell tonight 

Across the rotting sea 

Nor the nails of the cross, nor the blood of Christ 

Can bring you help this eve 

The dead have come to claim a debt from thee 

They stand outside your door 

Four score and three 

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind 

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand 

Wailing away on the wall on the strand 

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned 

You remember when the ship went down 

You left me on the deck 

The captain's corpse jumped up 

And threw his arms around my neck 

For all these years I've had him on my back 

This debt cannot be paid with all your jack 

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind 

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand 

Wailing away on the wall on the strand 

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned 

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind 

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand 

Wailing away on the wall on the strand 

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned 

And as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white 

This shadow hanging over me is no trick of the light 

The spectra on my back will soon be free 

The dead have come to claim a debt from thee 

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind 

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand 

Wailing away on the wall on the strand 

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned 

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind 

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand 

Wailing away on the wall on the strand 

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned 

Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind 

Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand 

Wailing away on the wall on the strand 

As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned
