Magic Nights In The Lobby Bar - Christy Moore

There were magic nights in the lobby bar

When Brendan Ring played Madame Bonaparte

And every note that the piper would play

Would send me away send me away

Away through the window away in the rain

Over the city away on the air

To a field by a river where the trees are so green

The deepest of green that you've ever seen

Where once you have been you can go back again

You can go anytime you can go anytime

Because it's only in your mind

There were magic nights in the lobby bar

With Ricky Lynch and his golden guitar

Singin' Autumn in Mayfield and the barley was ripe

And the harvest moon was low in the sky

We were children our mothers were young

And fathers were tall and kind

And every note Ricky Lynch would play

Would send me away send me away

Away through the window away in the rain

Over the city away on the air

To a field by a river where the trees are so green

The deepest of green that you've ever seen

Where once you have been you can go back again

You can go anytime you can go anytime

Because it's only in your mind

There were magic nights in the lobby bar

When Ger Wolfe would sing like a lark

Singing Winter hung her coat on a hanger of dark

Singing I am the blood of Eireann

Spilled in a lonely cave

And I am the flower of Ireland

Adrift on the ocean wave

And I am the lark of Mayfield

Tumbling down the hill

I am the child of Summer

And I can remember you still

And every note that Ger Wolfe would play

Would send me away send me away

Away through the window away in the rain

Over the city away on the air

To a field by a river where the trees are so green

The deepest of green that you've ever seen

Where once you have been

You can go back again

You can go anytime you can go anytime

Because it's only in your mind

It was Autumn in Mayfield

And the barley was ripe

And the harvest moon was low in the sky

We were children our mothers were young

And fathers were tall and kind
