John Spillane - Magic Nights in the Lobby Bar lyrics

rate me

They were magic nights in the Lobby Bar

With Brendan Ring playing Madame Bonaparte's

Every note that the piper would play

Would send me away, send me away

Away through the window, away through the rain

Away 'cross the city, away in the air

To a field by a river where the trees are so green

The deepest of green that you've ever seen

Where once you have been you can go back again

You can go any time, you can go any time

'Cos it's only in your mind

They were magic nights in the Lobby Bar

With Ricky Lynch and his golden guitar

Singing;

"Autumn in Mayfield and the barley was ripe

And the harvest moon hung low in the sky

We were children and our mothers were young

And fathers were tall and kind"

And every word that Ricky would play

Would send me away, send me away

Away through the window, away through the rain

Away 'cross the city, away in the air

To a field by a river where the trees are so green

The deepest of green, you've ever seen

Where once you have been you can go back again

You can go any time, you can go any time

'Cos it's only in your mind

They were magic nights in the Lobby Bar

When Ger Wolfe would sing like a lark

Singing;

" I am the blood of Erin, spilt in an empty cave

I am the flower of Ireland, out on the drifting wave

I am the lark of Mayfield, tumbling down the hill

I am the child of summer, I can remember you still"

And every word that Ger would say

Would send me away, send me away

Away through the window, away through the rain

On a carriage of music, away in the air

To a field by a river where the trees are so green

The deepest of green that you've ever seen

Where once you have been you can go back again

You can go any time, you can go any time

'Cos it's only in your mind

"It was autumn in Mayfield and the barley was ripe

And the harvest moon hung low in the sky

We were children and our mothers were young

And fathers were tall and kind.&quot;<br />
