As Mam Lay Dying

As mam lay dying the morning
Came into the room and said O God
I've come at a bad time sorry
I said It's okay I need you
And so does my mother
I know her she wants to stay longer
So please wont you help her
Help her somehow
As time will allow
I'm going for breakfast now

As mam lay dying my brother
He strummed on her hairbrush for comfort
The rhythm of rocking was soothing
We missed our home and our music
And so did our mother
I know her she always loved singers
So please wont you help her
Help her to hear
Bring her near
And I will sing for her

As mam lay dying the foxes
Knocked over the bin lids and boxes
I went to the garden to find that
The lights of Dublin knew that
I missed my mother
I know her she'd want to be there
So please wont you help her
Help her to know
Tell her so
She'll go where I go
