Lyrics

She sang hymns out of tune And carried a yellow balloon She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon And talked to the people - the people who are I have a clock on the wall It keeps time and that isn't all It tells me how long she's been gone Gone to the people - the people who are She lived in a sorcerer's room She pounded the table and brandished the broom She turned ten thousand when she touched the moon And turned to the people - the people who are The rain came and scattered away The old antique caretaker's children at play Early this morning, she passed away Passed to the people - the people who are She sang hymns out of tune And carried a yellow balloon She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon And talked to the people - the people who are She sang hymns out of tune
