He gave me a wink and he said it was funny How mortals would pour all their blood, sweat and tears Onto tape, onto paper or into the air To be lost and forgotten outside of his kind employ Then I thought I could hear a great sound in the distance Of whiskey-soaked singing and laughter and cheers And they're saying that song could bring tears to a glass eye So pass me the papers, I'll sign them in blood And the smell of the brimstone was turned into greasepaint And the roar of the crowd like the furies of hell And I hear the applause and I hear the bells ringing And the sound of a woman's voice from the next room Saying, come to me now, come lay down beside me Whatever you're doing you're too going to see You can't hold onto shadows, no more than to years So be glad for the pleasures we're young enough to enjoy So maybe I'm drunk or maybe a liar Or maybe we're all living inside a dream You can say what you like, when I'm gone then you'll see I'll be down in the dark, down underground With Shakespeare and Bach and the man who wrote Danny Boy (C) 1994 Pokazuka Ltd.
