Thread Name: Track lists for Wild Geese (Irish Group)
Subject: RE: Track lists for Wild Geese
A few words I'm not 100% sure about, Mike - I'll put them in brackets, but here's what I'm hearing :

"There were no goodbyes, goodbyes were for strangers,
You turn and you go, don't look over your shoulder,
Still Dublin was easy, [ though it rained all ] the morning,
I was caught between streets , in a grey pencil drawing,
And I can't find a love song , and I don't want to try,
But the break in the clouds was like the light in your eye,
And you woke up in the morning, and I'll remember you that way"

"It was coming on Christmas, there was [ truth in the song ],
My pockets still empty, another year gone,
Still I think I was smiling, though I sure don't know why,
I was running on empty, I'll be there by and by,
So I gazed at the windows like some people do,
But I didn't see nothing, I was thinking of you,
When you woke up in the morning, and I'll remember you that way".

"I was getting much warmer, I'd been walking a while,
The day it was clearing, and the clouds left the sky,
Took a whole lot of drinking to say it's a lie,
Chase the blues away".

"And the whole world passed me, [ traffic gone wild ],
People going nowhere, running on blind,
And just one night with someone, one yesterday,
And nothing to stop me from feeling this way,
And I can't find a love song, and I don't want to try,
The break in the clouds was like the light in your eye,
And you woke up in the morning,and I'll remember you that way"

Happy New Year !!!
