She says she doesn’t believe in God anymore
Do you
Do you
I’ve seen too many things far too many thing
Have you
Have you
That night you saw me
My hair all up in a mess
My makeup running all over
Through tears falling down
That was all of me strangled on the bathroom floor
The love shooting round inside my head
Every time he opened the door
Did you see all the stars in the sky
There’s a million of them for all the tears I have cried
And I’ve cried
She couldn’t leave
It just wasn’t done in those days
1960s Dublin was a big, big city for a girl of her age
When you’ve got kids and you’re trying to get out of the gutter
Everybody’s telling you what to do
But you know best
Because you know you’re their only mother
I’ve never felt real love
I’ve just had this love
I suppose it’s a kind of love
But it’s just not good enough anymore
She says I don’t believe in God anymore
Do you
Do you
