I saw her there fade from afar   Her hair gray charcoal takes a drag from her tar   I kissed her a smile but her blood red shot eye   Said the son 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 son never shines on closed doors      She said, the son never shines on closed doors   I open to find only hurricanes blow   Take me away to the green fields of May   Because the son never shines on closed doors      Death comes like a thief in the night   To steal while you sleep the soul's flickering light   Well, maybe it's then, she said, I'll see you again   'Cause the son never shines on closed doors      She said, the son never shines on closed doors   I open to find only hurricanes blow   Take me away to the green fields of May   Because the son never shines on closed doors      And we all go the same way home   Yeah, we all go the same way home      Yeah, we all go the same way home   Yeah, we all go the same way home   Yeah, we all go the same way home   Yeah, we all go the same way home
