Katie Lyrics
Celtic ThunderMusic Video
Katie
Tumbling curls of green
By stained glass streaming light
And a yellow coloured lampshade
Used to keep us up all night
The smile upon your face,
And the tears upon your cheek
The night sky on the window
And your heart calling out to me
Come running home again Katie,
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die,
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
The mirror that won't talk
And your nightgown on the door
The old pedal singer
Just don't sing no more
You can roll the reels for hours
From the movie of this book
It's a question mark on this heart of mine
Sends an elder back to look
Come running home again Katie,
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die,
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
[Instrumental]
Now I'm looking through a tunnel
Back into the room
With genius of a Druid
And the sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there,
I couldn't any way
And though I made the great escape,
I never got away
Come running home again Katie,
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die,
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
