This is a rough demo I made of a song I wrote last week. I had to sing it very quietly because a baby was sleeping in the apartment next door.

lyrics

Irish Goodbye 13 October 2012

I think we're on our way through
I think I know where we're going (we know / we think)
You used to mix with the muses
Now you're you're stumbling with stones
O, where's your cunning, babe?
You come along & come up with a song / You'll out of every autumn with a song / all along / &c
And if you're taking it back, you wouldn't take very long

And if they ask for me
If they ask for me
I'm walking out of every door

Now it's no myst'ry, babe,
You poured it on the ground to show us all
I looked around and around to find the lines it would draw
You know your hist'ry, babe,
You''ll sell it to the Senate for a song
And if we wanted it back, we wouldn't want it for long

And I can fall asleep
I can fall asleep
And after all, it's what it's for
If you won't answer me
If you won't answer me
I'm walking out of every door

We'll picture you in a cab
We'll picture you on a lawn
Next thing you're paying your tab, and all the matches are gone
I could be lost I could be pouring from a chimney in the fall
The thumb would fit in your bag, and then all that would be all.
[These are the only 3 verses that should be.]

And I can fall asleep
I can fall asleep
And after all, it's what it's for
And if they ask for me
If they ask for me
I'm walking out of every door

If you won't answer me
If you won't answer me
I'm walking out of every door
And if they ask for me
If they ask for me

I'm walking out of every door [end]
