Shamrock Diaries

1. In waves of people you can lose your feet

You’ve got to stay hard to the ground

It gets so easy now to lose your way

When you’re ever outward bound

A church bell ringing in the fading light

Stops you dead like a cold steel wall

The ghost of yester-years is touching you

And as sure as god you’ll fall

R1: And I see you

And I see me

I see it all

Like it used to be

2. And all the reasons why you started out

They hit you hard with every bell

The choir practice in the empty hall

Is a sound you know so well

Like something lost inside your overcoat

You find it later by mistake

You lost it all a thousand years ago

And you pray it’s not too late

R2: And I see you

And I see me

I see it all like a diary

R1: And I see you...

3. I’m gonna write it in a diary

Now I remember everything

Yeah I remember how it used to be

With every note that choir boy sings

R2: And I see you...
