Oh Susanna - St. Patrick's Day lyrics

Alone in my room The morning that you loved me A sweet salt perfume Gently swept around me The bed became a sailing ship The floor became the sea And you became an ocean bird And flew away from me I lie in my room Delicate and broken A dark echo looms Of pretty words you'd spoken Listing in my sailing ship Upon the wine-dark sea Sheets of red in brine and sweat And no one at the wheel Over the waves now I call to you to come and rescue me But you're far away now So forever I'll go drifting out to sea I locked up my room And everything you'd opened Sewed up my wound To prove that you're forgotten But I'll feast for you each year in spring When birds begin to sing When everything, yes, everything Oh, everything is green Over the waves now I call to you to come and comfort me But you're far away now So your pretty face nevermore I'll see No, your pretty face nevermore I'll see
