Magic Nights in the Lobby Bar

[Verse 1]

And they were magic nights in the lobby bar

When Brendan Ring playin' Madame Bonaparte

[Pre-Chorus]

Every note that the piper would play

Would send me away, send me away

[Chorus]

Away through the window, away in the rain

Over the city, away on the air

To a field by the 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

'Cause it's only, in your mind

[Verse 2]

And they 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

[Pre-Chorus]

And every note Ricky Lynch would play

Would send me away, send me away

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

And they 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

I am the lark of Mayfield, tumbling down the hill

I am the child of Summer, and I can remember it still"

[Pre-Chorus]

And every note that Ger Wolfe would play

Would send me away, send me away

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

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
