The Songs of Danny Galway

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 lover's sleeping

And soldiers dying far from home

Like a stone into a well

I fell beneath their spell

The songs of Danny Galway

Like a stone into 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 listening you're moved to swear

I know that house, I've climbed the 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

Emotions we all know

Are burnished till they glow

In the songs of Danny Galway

His melodies

Inspired whims

His chord changes

Like Baptist hymns

They'll lift your spirit till it soars

Till you forget that spirit's yours

Sound and word in sweet communion

Echoes of a better world

Where chivalry's not dead

Go look for it instead

In the songs of Danny Galway

Chivalry's not dead

Go look for it instead

In the songs of Danny Galway

Something rare and pure

Forever will endure
