THE DESERT  Part 4

The street lies dark
and sergeant O'Neil
is on night patrol
both hands on the wheel
The drunks and the thieves
He knows them by name
and it weighs on his heart
to see what they became

Every night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Father Mulholland
looks at the crowd
Five lonely souls
all with heads bowed
His sermons once flowed
with drive and conviction
now all he can muster
is drab repetition

Every Sunday is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

The excitement of youth
The thrill of the stranger
The great unknown
The sweet edge of danger
They fade over time
To tired resignation
To stay was a choice
is their pale justification

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Sally O’Brien
pulls one more beer
As it fills it reminds her
Of malt soaked tears
The drunks tell her stories
She's heard them all before
Their whole lives determined
By where they come from

Every Friday night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Big Dreams

Dance Once More

Rachelle

Waters is seeping in passion for love of his nation & truth. 
Sheridan's honest as ever, sharing his knowledge for you. 
Blighe is the rebel we're seeking, living up to his areas name. 
Christian's a Pagan & uncensored & so is the Last True Gael.

And Enoch rocks, Enock rocks. 

Shakti is shining with Surya, Collins is singing his song. 
Rob is a rascal for reminding exactly what it is going on. 
Jbro's a brother of liberty & Ninja's a master of art. 
The Git is as fit as a fiddle, his mind is tuned & sharp. 

Chorus

Sailors have took to the Shannon, the messenger birds of the age. 
Tiernan is busking on Grafton & Aidan is killin' with rage. 
Sweeney is forever walking, every step's a step closer to see. 
The light at the top of the mountain, the land that will always be free. 

Chorus x 2

Woods is taking us out of them, Dwyer was hired by God. 
Kerr is the only investigative journalist that we've got. 
Cullen's a curse to controller's & Conway has courage to spare. 
Crann Og is building an island, Satirical Soldier is there. 

Chorus x 2 

Kavanagh's kind of a legend, Vincent does work of a saint. 
Dolores is dealing out data, Murphy is keeping us sane. 
Morrisey gave us the answers & Marcus was out on the road. 
Gemma's a gem of a lady, grand is Torino. 

The emperor is wearing clothes, O' Loughlin got out while she could.
Morrison's on the vocals & Manning is playing the drums. 
Delaney is never delayin' & Sutton is always on time. 
The Chariot's riding for glory, O' Flaherty put up a fight. 

Chorus x 2
