Piccadilly - Tír na nÓg

I stood in Piccadilly and I thought I heard the sea

Thought I heard the sea

And a thousand voices laughed at me

I saw an aeroplane up in the sky, I shot it down

Yes, I shot it down

And I watched it fall without a sound

Please don’t leave me in this lonely, lonely city

Please don’t leave me all alone in this town

With every word you say you’re breathing sweet air I knew

And I’m bleeding with the scent and with the sound

We saw a boy wave from the bridge but nobody waved back

Not a soul waved back

And he waved until the day grew black

I know you did oppose it but you filled my glass again

Filled it to the brim

And you’re hoping it might ease the pain

Please don’t leave me in this lonely, lonely city

Please don’t leave me all alone in this town

With every word you say you’re breathing sweet air I knew

And I’m bleeding with the scent and with the sound

I stood in Piccadilly and I thought I heard the sea

Thought I heard the sea

And a thousand voices laughed at me

Please don’t leave me in this lonely, lonely city

Please don’t leave me all alone in this town

With every word you say you’re breathing sweet air I knew

And I’m bleeding with the scent and with the sound
