Lyrics Middle of the Island - Christy Moore

Middle of the Island

Everybody knew, nobody said
A week ago last Tuesday
She was just fifteen years
When she reached her full therm
She went to a grotto
In just a field
In the middle of the island
To deliver herself
Her baby died
She died
A week ago last Tuesday
It was a sad slow stupid death for them both
Everybody knew, nobody said
At a grotto
In a field
In the middle of the island
It was a sad slow stupid death for them both
Everybody knew, nobody said
