Rainy Night in Soho - Damien Dempsey, The Dubliners

I’ve been loving you a long time

Down all the years, down all the days

And I’ve cried for all your troubles

Smiled at your funny little ways

We watched our friends grow up together

And we saw them as they fell

Some of them fell into Heaven

Some of them fell into Hell

Well, I took shelter from a shower

And I fell into your arms

On a rainy night in Soho

The wind was whistling all its charms

I sang you all my sorrows

You told me all your joys

Whatever happened to that old song

To all those little girls and boys

Those little girls and boys

Sometimes I wake up in the morning

The gingerlady by my bed

Covered in a cloak of silence

I hear you talking in my head

Well I’m not singing for the future

And I’m not dreaming of the past

I’m not talking of the fist time

I’ll never dream about the last

Now the song is nearly over

We may never find out what it means

Still there’s a light I hold before me

You’re the measure of my dreams

You’re the measure of my dreams

The measure of my dreams

The measure of my dreams
