Mary Coughlan Still In Love
The bells played an Angelus,
As the whole world stood still,
As I walked out on the main street,
Leaving all that might have been.
The bells played an Angelus,
And the years twisted by.
All the pain and all the gushiness,
Gave way to tears of joy.
I am still in love.
I am still in love.
I am still in love,
So very much in love.
I curse the silver needle,
And I curse the powers that be.
And I curse the bloody bigotry,
That has stolen the sacred key.
But I am still in love.
I am still in love.
I am still in love,
So very much in love.
The bells played for Gandhi,
And for Martin Luther King,
And a thousand more since Jesus Christ,
As if we'll remember them.
And the bells played an Angelus,
And the whole world stood still.
She was wrapped up snug on main street,
Melting Armageddon's chill.
And I am still in love.
I am still in love.
I am still in love,
So very much in love
