Lyrics The Poorest Company - Pauline Scanlon

When the wind feels like the water breathing in and out of thee,
And I'm standing beside you, there's a shadow where a man should be,

I would be glad enough if wherever I might be,
People would remember we were woven in this tapestry.

When we steal what we can, with the courage to be free,
And I've found where I belong among the poorest company.

When the wind feels like a world, useless spinning all around me
A country round my shoulders, a flag raised up a gallows tree,

I won't let it get me down. I know there are people now
Who bind together what they do and live their lives like I want to.

When we steal what we can, I take everything I see,
And I've found where I belong among the poorest company.

When we steal what we can, with the courage to be free,
And I've found where I belong among the poorest company.

When we steal what we can, with the courage to be free,
And I've found where I belong among the poorest company.
