In the sad blue light, in the deepest shade 

Margaret Mary saddles, all our love away



The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes

And underneath the ground, the mother sends the child



And the rain buries the lonely night 

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain buries the lonely, lonely august night



Makes a crossing sign, of the Catholic kind

Have the neighbors heard, what our hero enshrines



The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes

And underneath the flowers, the mother sends the child



And the rain buries the lonely night 

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain's very cold , the rain's very cold, cold out tonight
