You ́ve been a wild rover for many of years
Written on the bathroom of the bar
Where the heating got rusted
And you felt times are running
But you gave comfort
To the damned on the doorway
As if it was the last thing to do
And they were holding on for you
You couldn ́t hide from a beautiful eye
It brought you back to life
Dragging you down
Pulling you up when it was around
And you said
I ́ve been a wild rover for so many years
I saw red lights coming
And the good boys disappear
And every time I cross the border on my mind
I think of you and how you moved
It tells me it ́ll be alright
Welcome to the modern times
Are you happy
Are you satisfied
I remember you spelling my name
Just the way you used to do it
As if it was yesterday
And I remember
We ́ve been tired of working way too long
But you kept us awake
And your jukebox sang a song
And every time I cross the border on my mind
I think of you and how you moved
It tells me it ́ll be alright
Welcome to the modern times
Are you happy
Are you satisfied
You said I ́m proud not to be proud
But in this life I ́m fading out
Like a song I used to know
In the end you die alone
We salute the night to forget the day
We salute the night to forget the day
We salute the night to forget the day
We salute the night to forget the day
