Days Long Gone

Melody -

Tom Teven

1. Standin' in this fancy bar
Ah me boy have you come far
At least in distance from your native shore
No one knew how far you'd go
Maybe that was better so
Now you're drinkin' pints of fantasy
To make you feel at home



2. How we tried to count the years
When your old mother dried the tears
That were running down on her poor tired face
And when she waved to you good bye
As she tried hard not to cry
Now you're drinkin' pints of fantasy
To make you feel at home
  Refrain:
Drinkin' pints of fantasy
Whiskey glasses full of dreams
Gettin' all worn out it seems
By Puttin' on a show
Talking of the days long gone
Knowing you must carry on
And you're drinkin' pints of fantasy
To make you feel at home.

3. It's just a fact of life you say
Our lands 'always been that way
And we can't change it so we had better go
Sick of tanks, oppressors guns
Everyday more of her sons'
are leavin now
As their fathers did before

Refrain: 2x
Aye you're drinking pints of fantasy
To make you feel at home.
