Helena Lyrics & Tabs by Maria Doyle Kennedy
Helena
guitar chords lyrics
Helena where are you going
Your father's eyes are bleeding
Your mother's cross is hard to bear
Helena look your lovely hair
Is fallen to your knees,
Is fallen to your knees in prayer
Helena can you feed him
He suckles on your freedom
Your mother's wisdom earned in vain
For now your life is just the same
Helena look your hair
Helena look your lovely hair
Daughters do what mothers would warn them from
And fathers see that young men are how they used to be
Helena look your hair
Daughters do what mothers would warn them from
And fathers see that young men are how they used to be
Helena look your hair
Helena where are you going
You hear the river flowing
It calls you down it begs you in
Your baby cries out from within
Helena look your hair, Helena look it fold out there
Daughters do what mothers would warn them from
And fathers see that young men are how they used to be
Helena look your hair
It happens that's beyond compare
Helena can you trust him
Your baby's feet are growing
You feel him scratching killing time
Your mother's eyes look on and cry
Helena look your hair, Helena look your lovely hair
Daughters do what mothers would warn them from
And fathers see that young men are how they used to be
Helena look your hair, Helena look your lovely hair
Beyond compare
Helena, Helena beware
Helena, Helena
