Seanchai - Gates Of Hell lyrics

rate me

Pipers play laments in the distance<br />

These days you seem to hear them everywhere<br />

A sea of blue stands to attention <br />

The mother walks down the chapel stairs<br />

Through her crying eyes she watches her Paddy <br />

As the shoulders carry her son away<br />

Neighbours and friends just shake their heads<br />

Coz they know there's nothing you can say<br />

<br />

Folks figure Paddy, he's gone up into heaven<br />

Coz he went missing at the gates of hell<br />

Now the sun's setting down on the Rockaway ground <br />

And when it's coming back just no one can tell<br />

<br />

I met him in the canyon of heroes <br />

When Lord Stanley finally came down Broadway<br />

He was singing and dancing and drinking and laughing<br />

Celebrating until the next day<br />

Now there's a whole new canyon of heroes <br />

Full of people who seem like me and you <br />

But it's no ordinary guy who steps into the tide<br />

And then tells you, "It's just what I do"<br />

<br />

I walk into the autumn morning <br />

Trying to make some sense of it at all<br />

Then a fighter jet flies straight right over my head<br />

And the leaves they begin to fall
