Wrap the Starry Plough around me Let the piper's air resound me There I'll rest until the lord of love I meet.
When I was young and I was in my day Sure I'd steal what woman's heart there was away And I'd sing into the dawning Sung a blaze into the morning 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 she shook me By the bottle live by the bottle I shall fall
But there in the mirror on the wall I see the dream is fading From the contender to the fall The ring, the rose, the matador, raving
And when I die I'll die a drunk down on the street He will count me out to ten in clear defeat Wrap the Starry Plough around me Let the piper's air resound me There I'll rest until the lord of love I meet
But 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, raving
But 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, raving
When I was young and I was in my day Sure I'd steal what woman's heart there was away And I'd sing into the dawning Sung a blaze into the morning Long before I was the man you see today
Wrap the Starry Plough around me Let the piper's air resound me There I rest until the lord of love I meet.
There I rest until the lord of love I'll meet.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
