Well, tonight is our last night on earth my friends |
|
So let's sleep with the stars as our ceiling |
|
And kiss me one time and please make it good |
|
It could be our last night until morn |
|
Well, I guess I know that I'll always be |
|
The one and only one for me |
|
But I hope that this once we dance this dunce |
|
What's to be seen now together we'll see |
|
Oh the train it rolls hard on the cold steel track |
|
But that's not the way that I'm goin' |
|
I will step on a dove, have her fly me above |
|
And freighter my back into "home" |
|
Well, tonight at the bottom of the deepest lake |
|
There's a pillow to bed down and slumber |
|
Just to falter our crowns, red beard blow the man down |
|
And let him come down to the heather |
|
Well tonight is the last night on earth my friends |
|
So let's save this together forever |
|
And all pause and yield |
|
Burn life through this field |
|
Tonight's stars, let's just spend them together |
|
Low lie the fields of Athenry |
|
Where once we watched the small free birds fly |
|
Our love was on the wing |
|
We had dreams and songs to sing |
|
Now it's lonely 'round the fields of Athenry... |
