The Songs of Danny Galway Songtext
von Prefab Sprout

I met him in a Dublin bar
The sorcerer from Wichita
A wizard and his baby grand
A range of powers at his command
He summoned ghosts of lovers sleeping
Soldiers dying far from home
Like a stone in to a well
I fell beneath their spell
The songs of Danny Galway


In words he paints a vivid scene
Of places you may not have been
Yet listen and you're moved to swear
I know that house, I've climbed that stair
I've shared those overwhelming feelings
I've suffered loss, I've known such joy
Emotions we all know are burnished till they glow
In the songs of Danny Galway

His melodies inspire whims
His chord changes like Baptist hymns
They lift your spirit till its soars
Till you forget that spirit's yours
Sound and word in sweet communion
Echoes of a better world
Where chivalry's not dead, we'll look for it instead
In the songs of Danny Galway

Something well and pure for ever will endure
In the songs of Danny Galway
