Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy

The pipes, the pipes are calling

From town to town and down the mountainside

The dream is gone and all the flowers are dying

Your eyes are tired, your wound is open wide

Oh Danny boy

I can't see how you did it

So wrong, so loud, so cruel, so poorly made

It got you far but gave away your spirit

For every debt will surely be repaid

And now the moon is high above your doorstep

She's coming down and leveling your home

And here you stand, it's not a nice thing to accept

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy

I told you so

Oh Danny boy

You struggled for the last time

Now, on your feet! Get up! It's nearly dawn

You've always been round twice the man that I am

You need no strength, you're bound to carry on

But if you feel sometimes you simply do not know

Or if you fear those clouds may come and go

Then I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy

I love you so
