| 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… |
