Danny Boy Lyrics by Rufus Wainwright

Danny Boy Lyrics

    Your skin is cold, but
    The sun shines within your hold
    Your hair is gold, but you see through a goldfish bowl
    I feel old, sick and tired
    We walk the streets, gently staring, wondering what to do
    The sun in sheets, pouring down those streets to eyes green and blue
    And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend
    Or a herd of bulls charging stop lights red
    I'd be blind

    Chorus: you broke my heart danny boy
    Not your fault danny boy

    I was hanged at the doorstep, played like a two to a fourset
    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 to the bayou
    My smile a trick, tricking me and trying not to scare you
    And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the ben
    Or a herd of bulls charging stop lights red
    I'd be blind

    Chorus
