I never noticed that the days were fed by my fears never noticed how those days turned to weeks turned to months turned to years I never heard the clock tick the floor creak the door click the footsteps grow bold and grow near footsteps grow bold and grow near
I never noticed that the mornings had grown colder never noticed that a hand was sat on my shoulder cold soft and heavy as lead this hand of the dead was guiding me as I grew older guiding me as I grew older
buy me one last drink before they throw me on the fire I'm miserable, malodorous a bigot, and a liar but all showing off aside, I need to look you in the eye I need to understand the damage that I've done before I die
I never noticed in the years that you were there that you were someone so close and so lovely never noticed all the stars that sparkled above me or pondered that the light that they shone was from a time that was gone I never noticed when you told me that you loved me I think that you once told me that you loved me
oh buy me one last drink before they throw me on the fire I'm miserable, malodorous a bigot, and a liar all showing off aside, I need to look you in the eye I need to understand the damage that I've done before I die before I die
so tell me that you love me mrs. mavis o'riordan I never noticed when you told me that before oh I've brought you ten red roses mrs. mavis o'riordan and I'm begging you to open up your door
I'm begging you to open up your door I'm begging you to open up your door I'm begging you to open up your door
