Tindersticks - Kathleen lyrics

(written by Townes van Zandt)

Strange to see, the sun don't shine today

But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway

Maybe I'll go insane, got to stop the pain

Maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen

Swallow comes, tells me her dreams

Says she'd like to know just what they mean

Feel like I could die as I watch her flying by

Riding the north wind down to see Kathleen

Stars hang high with the ocean roar

The moon has come to lead me to a door

It's crystal `cross the sand, the waves they take my hand

Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen

Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen
