Absent Friends

Still drinking as the morning came And brought a brand new day Still laughing at the jokes we made Still singing Galway Bay The night was drawing in And the light was fading fast We paid respects to absent friends And raised another glass So pour away I suppose I'l stay What's everybody having It's my round anyway The night was drawing in And the light was fading fast We paid respects to absent friends And raised another glass Knocking back the whiskey Talking shite and acting hard Picking fights is risky For a drunken daft old arse We used to have no fear But those days are in the past So pay respects to absent friends And raise another glass So pour away I suppose I'l stay What's everybody having It's my round anyway We used to have no fear But those days are in the past So pay respects to absent friends And raise another glass So pour away I suppose I'l stay What's everybody having It's my round anyway The night was drawing in And the light was fading fast We paid respects to absent friends And raised another glass
