lyrics

SCHOOL OF THE SACRED HEART

He played her like a soft guitar, he swore ‘We’ll never part’
He'd plucked the sweetest apple from the School of the Sacred Heart
As a peacock strutted silently in the garden down below.
She stared beyond the cypress trees as dawn spread across the town
His touch was like the warm wind moving her nightgown
But he’s gone, He’s long gone -She saw him go

Some pray for her body now, some pray for her soul
She kisses the dice for their advice every time she rolls
And she tosses her loose change to the losers down below
All I know, says Mother Superior, is she was the quietest child
But ever since those summer nights she’s been running wild
And she’s gone, She’s long gone -We saw her go

Everyone is searching for something,
As if there's something we should know
The sky is full of aeroplanes, and I don't know where they go

All I know is when she was with me, she swore we’d never part
'Til she passed along the lesson learnt back at the Sacred Heart
For all the while a taxi stood in the street below
I saw the sway of a woman's hips. I saw a little girl’s wave:
That memory's all she left to me and I'll take it to my grave
Now she’s gone, She’s long gone -I saw her go
She’s gone, She’s long gone -I saw her go
I saw her go
