Sleeping in the Cold Below Songtext
von Colm R. McGuinness

So it′s into the void, now, me girls and me boys
From Mother's hands, we go
We′ll be sailing to the sun 'til the voyage is done
Then we'll be sleeping in the cold below

Sisters, below, below
We′re going where the winds don′t blow
Yes, we're all bound down to the deep
And we′ll all be sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below

Our sailin' ship is for the hard and the quick
We roll our load and go
There′s a livin' to be made our there′s h-ll to pay
When you're sleeping in the cold below

Sisters, below, below
We're going where the winds don′t blow
Yes, we′re all bound down to the deep
And we'll all be sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below


There′s a man on high with a devil in his eye
And a golden hand, I'm told
It can hurt you, it can hold you, he can kick you or console you
When you′re sleeping in the cold below

Sisters, below, below
We're going where the winds don′t blow
Yes, we're all bound down to the deep
And we'll all be sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below

(Instrumental)

Oh, Sisters, you, so wise and true
When it′s my time to go
Won′t you lay me down under Granum Crowns
Then I'll be sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below


Sisters, below, below
We′re going where the winds don't blow
Yes, we′re all bound down to the deep
And we'll all be sleeping in the cold
Sisters, below, below
We′re going where the winds don't blow
Yes, we're all bound down to the deep
And we′ll all be sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below, below
Sleeping in the cold below

Today we sail on the Solar Rail
For there′s much we just don't know
So farewell with a kiss
Then it′s fast for a mist
'Til we′re all sleeping in the cold
Below
