BLACK IRISH SONG

SHE WAS THE QUEEN OF THE RODEO
SHE WORE BLACK LEATHER FROM HEAD TO TOE
BARBARELLA HAS NOTHING ON HER YOU KNOW
THEY CALLED HER BLACK IRISH SONG

I COULD BE EARLY I COULD BE LATE
I CAN BE IN A HURRY OR I CAN WAIT
BUT SHE LEFT ME HERE STANDING BY THE OLD RUSTY GATE
NO SIGN OF BLACK IRISH SONG

SHE’S A MODERN GIRL SHE’S ON TOP OF THE WORLD
SHE HAS EVERYONE SPINNING AROUND
SHE’S A COVER GIRL SHE’S A STRING OF PEARLS
SHE NEVER SMILES SHE ONLY FROWNS

OH THE SEA TAKES MY BREATH AWAY
THE VAN GOGH SKY’S ARE A DEEP DARK GREY
BUT I’M STANDING HERE FREEZING ON AVENUE A
WAITING FOR BLACK IRISH SONG

SHE’LL DISAPPEAR FOR A WEEK OR TWO
THEN SHE’LL RETURN LIKE THERE’S NOTHING NEW
NOT WHIMPER OR SOUND OR A FRESH POINT OF VIEW
WILL YOU HEAR FROM BLACK IRISH SONG

SHE’S A MODERN GIRL SHE’S ON TOP OF THE WORLD
SHE HAS EVERYONE SPINNING AROUND
SHE’S A COVER GIRL SHE’S A STRING OF PEARLS
SHE NEVER SMILES SHE ONLY FROWNS

WELL THE YEARS THEY PASS AND MEMORIES FADE
THE DAYS GET SHORTER AND TIME SLIPS AWAY
AND MY MIND STARTS TO WANDER WHERE IT GOES I CAN’T SAY
THINKING ABOUT BLACK IRISH SONG
