The Burren

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And 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 [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh [Verse 2] And hope hit me like blasted stone A rattlesnake unturned My bloodline Now can't you see I'm letting go? I'll take with me What you left to burn [Chorus] And 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 [Post-Chorus] 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-oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh [Outro] 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
