She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune - Don Henley

She sang hymns out of tune

And carried a yellow balloon

She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon

And talked to the people — the people who are

I have a clock on the wall

It keeps time and that isn’t all

It tells me how long she’s been gone

Gone to the people — the people who are

She lived in a sorcerer’s room

She pounded the table and brandished the broom

She turned ten thousand when she touched the moon

And turned to the people — the people who are

The rain came and scattered away

The old antique caretaker’s children at play

Early this morning, she passed away

Passed to the people — the people who are

She sang hymns out of tune

And carried a yellow balloon

She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon

And talked to the people — the people who are

She sang hymns out of tune
