A Last Song

Paddy Goes To Holyhead

Compositor: Harald Schmidt

This will be a last song this will be a last goodbye
take care of yourself ev´rywhere and hold your head up high
The moon is shining clearly and the stars are shining bright
This will be a last song for tonight

When I´m old and doddering and my race is almost run
Will you ever think of me will you miss me when I´m gone
Forget all pain and sorrow come and rest here by my side
This will be a last song for tonight

Last night I dreamed the waters came rushing to and fro
th e siren gave a warning I watched my body go
The sea began to rollin´ oh god I cannot land
I hear a loud voice calling: Please save this drowing man
