"The Burren" lyrics

"The Burren"

Your carnation revolution was buried
In these rock pools and I'm grateful
And the sun looks like the afterlife here
A battlefield after the rainfall

We walked out on
Out on to the burren
Four feet from the wind
Full of yesteryear's sorrow, bad dreams within

We were children again
We were children
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And hope hit me like blasted stone, a
Rattle snake unturned
The bloodline
Now, can't you see I'm letting go
I'll take with me
What you left to burn

Yeah, we walked out on
Out onto the burren
Four feet from the wind
Full of yesteryear's sorrow, bad dreams within

We were children again
We were children
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, I come here to borrow time
Oh, I come here to start a fire
Oh, I come here to borrow time
Oh, I come here to start a fire
