This town is fading away
At night there's not a sound
In the morning the birds sing
They're flying the other way around
The town is but a dream
Of royalty and an Irish crown
The tower, once tall, stands short
I've got to keep my head down
Across the town and by a stream
They're all playing without me
Can you find it in your heart
That is needed to forgive
I am leaving you again
Cause I don't know what it is to live
