Lyrics Don Henley – She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune

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
