Me Auld Flower - Aleksandra Lyrics

Trouble came and trouble went
My pretty nose got long and bent
Often you spoke but rarely I knew what you meant
Til I broke vows of silence, obedience, and lent
Your mother thought I was a gent
But she only lights candles for the innocent
Who'd never even need them
Aleksandra
A redhead and a Scorpio
And all I ever wanted
Tall and thin
The meanest little girl I know
I never felt the same again
Once I dressed up like a skeleton
No train here arrives without the dawn of time as its origin
I could never get away from
Aleksandra
A redhead and a Scorpio
And all I ever wanted
Tall and thin
The meanest little girl I know
The defiant and the vanquished
Aleksandra
Passing through the dreamcatcher
I remember the Brother
Trying to cane the devil out of every left-hander
Aleksandra
Aleksandra
Strange news came lately eastward
The banshee's call that everybody heard
And still ignored
I'd not regret, repent, or hate
For all the stout in Dublin 8
The hops that haunt we corruptibles in the orbit of St. James's Gate
Near but never close was
Aleksandra
A redhead and a Scorpio
And all I ever wanted
Tall and thin
The meanest little girl I know
The defiant and the vanquished
Aleksandra
Passing through the dreamcatcher
I remember the Brother
Trying to cane the devil out of every left-hander
Aleksandra
Aleksandra
The redemptress Aleksandra
