The bats are in the belfry
The dew is on the moor
Where are the arms that held me
And pledged her love before
And pledged her love before
Chorus:
It's such a sad old feeling
The fields are soft and green
It's memories that i'm stealing
But you're innocent when you dream
When you dream
You're innocent when you dream
Running through the graveyard
We laughed my friends and i
We swore we'd be together
Until the day we died
Until the day we died
Repeat chorus
I made a golden promise
That we would never part
I gave my love a locket
And then i broke her heart
And then i broke her heart
Repeat chorus
Mr. henry stumbles home
When the evening's done
He's as poor as a church mouse
High on the meyer's rum
Tugging at his shirttail
Jiggling a church key
Chewing on a toothpick
On another binge
Trampling the rosebush
Whistin' to himself...
Now don't wake up the neighbours
Spitting on the hinge
Rattling the milkbottles
Tripping on a skate
Hidin' from the newsboys
Before it's too late
The screen door's open
Don't make no noise in the kitchen
Got no excuse
For a cold, grey wife that starts bitchin'
That the no good bum's at it again
After she's given him
The best years of her life
He'll tell her he was celebrating
Savage's divorce
Played a hunch out at yonkers
You can never trust a horse
And thrown in jail
Swore he'd never do these things again
He's got an alibi
But never tells her where he's been
