When I was young and I was in my day I could steal what woman's heart there was away I'd sing and dance into the morning I blaze a trail until the dawning Long before I was the man you see today
I was born beneath the star that promised all I could have lived my life between Cork, Cobh and Youghal But the wheel of fortune took me From the highest point it shook me By the bottle live by the bottle I shall fall
And there in the mirror on the wall I see the dream is fading From the contender to the brawl The ring, the rose, the matador is raving
And when I die I'll die a drunk down on the street You can count me out to ten in clear defeat Rap the starry plough around me And let the pipers air resound me There I'll rest until the lord of love I'll meet
And there in the mirror on the wall I see the dream is fading From the contender to the brawl The ring, the rose, the matador is raving
Rap the starry plough around me And let the pipers air resound me There I'll rest until the lord of love I'll meetTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
