[00:02.17]Songs Title：the man who wrote danny boy
[00:05.09]
[00:24.89]It happened one night
[00:27.96]At three in the morning
[00:30.27]The devil appeared in my studio room
[00:35.38]And he said Im your pal
[00:37.88]And Ill make you a deal
[00:41.87]Blow away your struggle
[00:45.13]And Ill take your soul for a toy
[00:50.35]
[00:59.60]After rubbing my eyes
[01:02.77]I looked all around me
[01:05.25]At the half-finished drivel Id worked on for days
[01:10.58]And I told him my dream
[01:13.08]Was to live for all time
[01:16.87]In some perfect refrain
[01:19.57]Like the man who wrote danny boy
[01:25.50]
[01:33.27]And I said if youre real, then Ill ask you a question
[01:38.29]While most of us turn into ashes or dust
[01:42.89]Just you and that other guy go on forever
[01:47.38]But who writes the history
[01:49.78]And who do I trust?
[01:52.95]
[02:11.14]He gave me a wink
[02:13.75]And he said it was funny
[02:16.54]How mortals would pour all their blood, sweat and tears
[02:21.82]Onto tape, onto paper
[02:24.58]Or into the air
[02:28.14]To be lost and forgotten
[02:31.31]Outside of his kind employ
[02:36.04]
[02:41.79]Then I thought I could hear a great sound in the distance
[02:46.67]Of whiskey-soaked singing
[02:48.84]And laughter and cheers
[02:51.26]And theyre saying, that song could bring tears to a glass eye
[02:55.67]So pass me the papers, Ill sign them in blood
[03:00.39]
[03:04.35]And the smell of the brimstone was turned into greasepaint
[03:08.66]And the roar of the crowd like the furies of hell
[03:12.76]And I hear the applause and I hear the bells ringing
[03:17.04]And the sound of a womans voice from the next room
[03:22.38]
[03:24.12]Saying come to me now
[03:28.55]Come lay down beside me
[03:31.29]Whatever youre doing youre too gone to see
[03:36.41]You cant hold onto shadows, no more than to years
[03:44.17]So be glad for the pleasures
[03:47.90]Were young enough to enjoy
[03:52.80]
[04:16.38]So maybe Im drunk
[04:19.66]Or maybe a liar
[04:22.16]Or maybe were all living inside a dream
[04:27.48]You can say what you like
[04:29.90]When Im gone, then youll see
[04:34.69]Ill be down in the dark
[04:38.47]Down underground
[04:41.11]With shakespeare and bach
[04:43.65]And the man who wrote danny boy
[04:48.62]
