As mam lay dying
the morning came into the room and said oh 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 won't 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 won't 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 won't you help her
Help her to know
Tell her so
she'll go where I go
