Verse

I saw her there fade from afar

Her hair gray charcoal

 Takes a drag from her tar.

 I kissed her a smile,

 but her blood red shot eyes

 Said "the son never shines on closed doors."

Verse

It's been eight long years since I saw

 The woman who's labored

 Since the day I was born.

 Those wrinkles now face

 To that cold dark damp place,

 Where the son never shines on closed doors.

Chorus

 She said the son never shines on closed doors

 I open to find only hurricanes blow.

Takes me away, to the green fields of May,

 Because the son never shines on closed doors.

Verse

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.

Chorus

 She said the son never shines on closed doors

 I open to find only hurricanes blow.

Takes me away, to the green fields of May,

 Because the son never shines on closed doors.

Outro

 And we all go the same way home,

 yeah we all go the same way home. [Repeat until end]
