lyrics

Field mice and potatoes, that’s all we’ve got
No rice on the table, like it or not
You’ve been wondering how that perspective just fades away

The lark in the morning, ariseth from her nest
And mounts in the air, with the dew upon her breast
You’ve been wondering if there’s somewhere they’ve gone other than away

Now with your fading hearing, so goes your sight
The grave you are nearing, while seeming not to fight
If Peter was here, we all know what he’d say
With peace all or’ his face
There is no need here for dismay
For I am ready, ready, we are ready to die

One child aft’ another, for over 20 years
My two aunts and their six brothers, for whom food always appeared
In need of more as they aged, you worked for minimum pay

It was the handsome ploughboy, the damsel she did say
Who caused for me to tumble, all along the new mown hay
But the way that he was, was not the way he’d be

No he never loved you as well, as you would have liked
Go off to Israel, don’t call ‘till grounded is your flight
When he answers my dear
I’ve gone but far away
And I’m not sure how long I’ll stay
I don’t much care what you might say
For I am ready, ready, I am ready to feel alive
I am ready to feel alive
