Fairytale of New York |
It’s Christmas Eve, Babe, |
In the drunk tank. |
An old man said to me, «Won't see another one.» |
And then he sang a song, |
'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'. |
I turned my face away |
And dreamed about you. |
Got on a lucky one, |
Came in eighteen to one. |
I had a feeling |
That year’s for me and you. |
Said 'Happy Christmas, |
I love you baby. |
I can see a better time |
When all our dreams come true.' |
They’ve got cars big as bars, |
They’ve got rivers of gold. |
But the wind goes right through you, |
Its no place for the old. |
When I first took your hand, |
All your fingers were blue |
But I promised you Broadway was waiting for you. |
I was handsome, |
You were pretty; |
Queen of New York City. |
When the band finished playing, |
They howled out for more. |
Sinatra was swinging, |
All the drunks they were singing, |
And we kissed on the corner |
Then danced through the night. |
And the boys of the NYPD choir |
Were singing Galway Bay. |
And the bells were ringing out |
For Christmas Day. |
The apartment was cluttered, |
And it smelled like the gutter |
Where my sad broken promises |
Lay with the trash. |
Every cold dreary night, |
We’d end up in a fight |
And I’d pray, as you’d yell, |
That a train’d rattle past. |
And the boys of the NYPD choir |
Still singing Galway Bay. |
And the bells were ringing out |
Christmas Day. |
I could have been someone |
You said «So could anyone,» |
And that I took your dreams from you |
When first you found me. |
But I kept them with me, Babe, |
I put them with my own. |
I cant make it all alone, |
I built my dreams around you. |
It’s Christmas Eve again, in the drunk tank. |
I’m an old man now, I won’t see another one. |
So I’ll a sing a song, and sleep when I am through |
And dream of another life, where all our dreams came true. |
