Party for Dolores

Verse 1
She called to me when I was young
I wandered out of childhood as she sung
Taking hold of her hand,
her pain would never end
With a heart of…

Chorus
Sorrows, sorrows,
arrows in her chest
Waiting at this party for Dolores
But she never came
She went away
She never came

Verse 2
She dreamt of the whole wide world
Sparkling, shining, she danced and she twirled
Sang her song for me
oh tragic Limerick queen
She found her glory, her soul and her voice
Crying out to heaven,
Oh let us rejoice
With a heart of…

Chorus

Bridge
Stabat Mater Dola Rosa
Juxta Crucem Lacrimosa

Chorus
Sorrows, sorrows,
arrows in her chest
Waiting at this party for Dolores
But she never came
She went away
She never came back
