Dexys Midnight Runners — Kathleen Mavourneen

[Verse 1] Kathleen Mavourneen, the grey dawn is breaking The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill The lark from her light wing The bright dew is shaking Oh Kathleen Mavourneen Why slumber you still? [Chorus 1] Oh hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever? Oh hast thou forgotten the day we must part? It may be for years And it may be forever Then why art thou silent Voice of my heart? It may be for years It may be forever Then why art thou silent Kathleen Mavourneen? [Verse 2] Kathleen Mavourneen, awake from thy slumbers The blue mountains glow, in the sun's golden light Ah, where is the spell That once hung on my numbers? Arise in thy beauty The star of my night [Chorus 2] Mavourneen, Mavourneen My sad tears are falling To think that from Erin And thee I must part It may be for years and it may be forever Then why art thou silent Voice of my heart Oh, it may be for years It may be forever Ah, then why art thou silent Kathleen Mavourneen?
