"Kathleen" lyrics

"Kathleen"

Strange to see, the sun don't shine today
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane, got to stop the pain
Maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen

Swallow comes, tells me of her dreams
Says she'd like to know just what they mean
Feel like I could die as I watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see Kathleen

Stars hang high above the ocean roar
The moon has come to lead me to her door
It's crystal 'cross the sand
The waves they take my hand
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen

Strange to see, the sun it don't shine today
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane, I've got to stop the pain
Maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen

Swallow comes, tells me of her dreams
Says she'd like to know just what they mean
Feel like I could die as I watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see Kathleen

Stars hang high above the ocean roar
The moon has come to lead me to her door
It's crystal 'cross the sand
The waves they take my hand
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen
