Silent Scream Songtext

von Shane MacGowan

I'll have to agree with you on that. Great lyrics.

It's nice to sit by the river side
In the merry month of June
And hear the angels sing in the trees
All God's favorite tunes

As the broad majestic Shannon
Comes rumbling round the bend
Big lazy two-hearted river
With no beginning and no end

It's nice to sit and ponder
The joys of Glenaveigh
Around the Carney Commons
As the wind sings to the trees

Singing the songs of ages
Of love and liberty
Songs of hope and happiness
Of the young and of the free

Last night I had a dream
Last night I had a dream
That the fields were ash
And the rain was black
And I screamed a silent scream
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...

It seems I was the only thing
That there was left alive
But as I hung my head and cried
A jet flew through the sky

I went to see my friends that
I drank with in the town
But there was nothing there at all
It was all razed to the ground

But the wind was gone and so was
The angels gently sigh
And as the day time turned to night
I stared at the starless sky

Last night I had a dream
Last night I had a dream
That the fields were ash
And the rain was black
And I screamed a silent scream
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...
