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
