"WE'LL SIT AND DRINK TIL THE MORNING BELLS RING"
We'll sit and drink til the morning bells ring
And tell stories that made us blue
Of forgotten dreams and broken hearts
We'd talk the whole night through
From the pub's darkend corner our sorrows pour
Night after night we'd swap and sigh
We confied and drank til the tears have dry'd
Year after year the well is yet to dry
Oh when the bells ring!
The rats flee the alleys
In the morning dew
And the townies awake
As I say good night to you
Oh when the bells ring!
My cattle eyes squint
As the sunshine blows
On the wind through the trees
As I stumble home
We'll sit and drink til the morning bells ring
And the years just pass us by
Until the one lone soul that makes me whole
Ran out of time and died
That's one more story I had to tell
And there was no one there but me
Emptyness fills my drunk old soul
And I'm surely not fit to be
I'll sit and drink til the morning bells ring
And remember an old friend of mine
I'll sit and drink til the morning bells ring
An my mind's only on you
It's you, and you, and you, and you
My sadness it seems to be untrue
Until a real friend a real dear friend
Had shown me how to feel
Rest in peace my dear old friend
You broke my cursed seal
