Macgillycuddy's Reeks - Warren Zevon

She stood beside my narrow bed to check my E.K.G

She shook her pretty little head at what’s become of me

I thought I glimpsed a path that led through rhododendron days

And fuchsia nights to the boat shed in which we two once lay

But she gazed only at my chart, the valleys and the peaks

Brought back the time she broke my heart in Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

But she gazed only at my chart, the valleys and the peaks

Brought back the time she broke my heart in Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

I saw her on Killarney’s shore one morning in July

When I still thought I was a thorn, tryin' to find a side

I met her in the little launch that runs to Innisfallen

Hunched together, haunch to haunch, tryin' to keep my balance

But she upset my applecart, she kissed me on the cheek

And I was struck by Cupid’s dart in Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

When I was struck by Cupid’s dart in Macgillycuddy’s Reeks

She was a systems analyst for a dot com company

She said, «You think because we’ve kissed, I’ll be yours eternally»

«I'll sign another prenup and we’ll merge our P.L.C.s

That’s why most girls go belly-up in this economy»
