Yes she found her footsteps failing

Falling falling from the sky

Down from Bangor with her eagles

Stepping out before her time

She did cry and she did fly

Round and round the swollen sky

Lightning for those mountain sides

And the miller never showed her

A face that didn't know 



Then that concert sang a long way

Here and there to Swansea Bay

More and more the tides ran with it

Murder Mary come and gone

Folded arms and Christendom

Shields and molten falcon heads

And the miller never showed her

A face that didn't know 



(Chorus)

It's a long long time - to go



Then came Xmas moving slowly

Slowly crossing out the chimes

Shutting out her father's women

Broken women on her side

Give her give her all she wants

Safely with her alphabet

On that morning she did leave

And he never would have shown

Her a face that didn't know
