Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father's a drinker
Rolls down the stairs
When I am with him
I could be anywhere
[Verse 2]
I will read every book of the world
Turning pages, Irish girl
In my tenement fairy tale
[Verse 3]
It calls me prima donna
Still rubs my nose
Says I've got a bad, bad case of growing up
Is dream time closed?
[Verse 4]
The language of angels
Mussels and sea shells
When papa sings all ballads
Scatters like petals
[Verse 5]
When we walk, there is spring in my cheek
I fear mama thinks daddy is a cheat
[Verse 6]
Every place has its dreamers
And everyone has a song
The ocean bay, it changes
The winds blow cease to serve
The tidal lights and it's flowing
A tree in Brooklyn, it grows
[Verse 7]
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
[Verse 8]
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
