Well past memories are gone Hymns to the silence again And a long lonely night will bring us Together my friend The morning light will shine in your eye When you pass me by Oh the Irish sea will roll on And the sight will still be young And the view will speak the words That get caught upon my tongue Yet I'll turn my head turn my head and sigh When you pass me by I wish the music would play And the lantern light would glow And your eyes would speak again Like a gypsy on the go The pub will close it's doors And the voices will be still In the morning my soul Will pay the bill I've something to say before I cry When you pass me by I wish the music would play And the lantern light would glow And your eyes would speak again Like a gypsy on the go And the whistle of a midnight train Meant a child returning home To the old country Where a kindred soul can roam
