The Pagan Birth Of Jesus

A9-e-f#

B-a-e-c#m-b-a-b (ending:b-a-e)

You were born

With it inside

A secret twin in your wounded side

Bits of hair

Teeth and string

And yellow flowers



Open up

Let it all in

Let the strange parade begin

A piece of pie

A piece of cake

For every sister



Let the eyes of mary

Carry you away now

Let the eyes of mary

Carry you away now



A baby born

It's made of leaves

And carried round the maypole tree

By irish girls

With jet black hair

And dark brown freckles



Let me bring

You bits of string

Tired and worn and sagging things

Under the weight

Of old crows feet

And the seasons



Let the eyes of mary

Carry you away now

Let the eyes of mary

Carry you away now

Let the brides of jesus

Carry you away now

Let the brides of jesus

Carry you away now.

Away now

Away
