I can’t light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I’m growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my lifeToo late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the lightDon’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on meI can’t find, oh, the right romantic line But see me once and see the way feel Don’t discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them healDon’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on meDon’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, yeah But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I sit and wait Does an angel contemplate my fate And do they know The places where we go When we’re grey and old ‘Cause I have been told That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed Thoughts running through my head And I feel the love is dead I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead
When I’m feeling weak And my pain walks down a one way street I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows She breathes flesh to my bones And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead
Brendan O’Dowda singing Gortnamona, written by Percy French.
Long, long ago in the woods of Gortnamona, I thought the birds were singing in the blackthorn tree; But oh, it was my heart that was singing, singing, singing, With the joy that you were bringing, oh my love, to me Long, long ago in the woods of Gortnamona, I thought the wind was sighing round the blackthorn tree; But oh, it was the banshee that was crying, crying, crying, And I knew my love was dying far across the sea. Now if you go through the woods of Gortnamona, You’ll hear the raindrops creeping through the blackthorn tree; But oh, it is the tears thatI am weeping, weeping, weeping, For the loved one that is sleeping far away from me. Long, long ago in the woods of Gortnamona, I thought the birds were singing in the blackthorn tree; But oh, it was my heart that was singing, singing, singing, With the joy that you were bringing, oh my love, to me

Have you seen the old man In the closed down market Kicking up the papers With his worn out shoes?
In his eyes, you see no pride Hand held loosely at his side Yesterday’s paper Telling yesterday’s news
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely And say for you that the sun don’t shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair And her clothes in rags?
She’s no time for talking She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home In two carrier bags
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely And say for you that the sun don’t shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind
In the all night cafe At a quarter past eleven Same old man Sitting there on his own
Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea cup Each tea lasts an hour And he wanders home alone
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely? Don’t say for you that the sun don’t shine Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man Outside the seaman’s mission Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears?
In our winter city The rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero And a world that doesn’t care
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely And say for you that the sun don’t shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London I’ll show you something to make you change your mind
hope you find the feet of a dancer, I hope you can sing in the rain, I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain; It won’t be easy, what can I say, There will be trouble along the way; ‘Round every corner there’s terror and fear, Always remember that we’re here. I hope you find the feet of a dancer, I hope you can sing in the rain, I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain; I hope you find love and affection, I hope you find someone who cares; I hope you find all the right directions everywhere, Everywhere. A shoulder to cry on whenever you’re alone, You can rely on us you know; Nothing too crazy, nothing too dear, Always remember that we’re here. I hope you find the feet of a dancer, I hope you can sing in the rain, I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain; I hope you find love and affection, I hope you find someone who cares; I hope you find all the right directions everywhere, Everywhere.
Sometimes when the rain comes pouring down, When it comes pouring down, Down on you. I hope you find the feet of a dancer, I hope you can sing in the rain, I hope you find all the easy answers to your pain; I hope you find love and affection, I hope you find someone who cares; I hope you find all the right directions everywhere, Everywhere. I hope you find all the right directions everywhere, Everywhere.
You’re feeling nervous, aren’t you, boy? With your quiet voice and impeccable style Don’t ever let them steal your joy And your gentle ways To keep ’em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face Dress you down, and tell you that your place Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
I see you tugging on your shirt Trying to hide inside of it And hide how much it hurts
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
You get discouraged, don’t you, girl? It’s your brother’s world for a while longer We gotta dance with the devil on a river To beat the stream Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
They come to kick dirt in your face To call you weak and then displace you After carrying your baby on your back across the desert I saw your eyes behind your hair And you’re looking tired, but you don’t look scared
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
