Grandmother Make a Steeple Lyrics by The Nocturnes

2011

I sing loud and they do not come in
\nOh well, I beg they put back your heart
\nI sing loud to send old ghosts running
\nOh well, I beg they put back your heart
\n
\nAll of my mothers, coming back
\nAll of the others, coming back
\nAll of my mothers, coming back
\n
\nAll of the horses and all of the men
\nCould not put back your heart at all
\nLift up your voices, song of the dead
\nCould not put back your heart
\n
\nGrandmother, close your hands, make a steeple
\nOh well, somebody turn on your heart
\nOpen your hands, let out all the people
\nOh well, somebody turn on your heart
\n
\nAll of my mothers, coming back
\nAll of the others, coming back
\nAll of my mothеrs, coming back
\n
\nAll of the horses and all of the mеn
\nCould not put back your heart at all
\nLift up your voices, song of the dead
\nCould not put back your heart at all
\n
\nAll of the horses and all of the men
\nCould not put back your heart at all
\nLift up your voices, song of the dead
\nCould not bring back your heart at all\n\n
