I saw her there from afar

Her hair grey charcoal

Takes a drag from her tar

I kissed her a smile

But her blood red shot eye

Said the son never shines on closed doors



It's been eight long years since I saw

The woman who's labored

Since the day I was born

These wrinkles now face

To that cold dark damp place

Where the son never shines on closed doors



She said the son never shines on closed doors

I open to find only hurricanes blow

Take me away back to the green fields of May

Because the son never shines on closed doors



Death comes like a thief in the night

To steal while you sleep

The soul's flickering light

Well maybe it's then

She said, I'll see you again

Because the son never shines on closed doors



She said the son never shines on closed doors

I open to find only hurricanes blow

Take me away back to the green fields of May

Because the son never shines on closed doors



And we all go the same way home

Yeah we all go the same way home
