Artist: Rufus Wainwright Album: Rufus Wainwright (1998) Title: Danny Boy
Lyrics Danny BoyYour skin is cold But the sun shines within your hold Your hair is gold But you see through goldfish bowl I feel old, sick, and tired We walk the streets Gently staring, wondering what to do The sun in sheets Pouring down on streets to eyes green and blue And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend Or a heard of bulls charging stoplights red I'd be blind
You broke my heart, Danny boy Not your fault, Danny boy I was had at the doorstep Played, like a two to a four-set Had, like poor Job in the bible by God
Day comes, I wake I wake with a hard heartache I go down to your place We sit and chat Chat about New York and trips through the bayou My smile, a trick Tricking me and trying not to scare you And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend Or a heard of bulls charging stoplights red I'd be blind
You broke my heart, Danny boy Not your fault, Danny boy I was had at the doorstep Played, like a two to a four-set Had, like poor Job in the bible by God
For I was had at the doorstep Hanged, like a two to a four-set Played, like poor Job in the bible by God |
