I saw her there fade from afar
Her hair was gray charcoal
Takes a drag from her ta
I kissed her a smile
But her blood red shot eye
Said the sun never shines on closed doors
It's been eight long years since I saw
The woman who's labored
Since the day I was born
These wrinkles now face
To that cold dark damp place
Where the sun never shines on closed doors
She said, the sun never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the sun never shines on closed doors
Death comes like a thief in the nigh
To steal while you sleep
The soul's flickering light
Well maybe it's then
She said, I'll see you again
Because the sun never shines on closed doors
She said, the sun never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the sun never shines on closed doors
And we all go the same way home
Yeah we all go the same way home
