The Songs of Danny Galway - Prefab Sprout

I met him in a Dublin bar

A sorcerer from Wichita

A wizard and his baby grand

A range of powers at his command

He summoned ghosts of lovers sleeping

And soldiers dying far from home

Like a stone into a well I fell beneath their spell

The songs of Danny Galway

Like a stone into a well I fell beneath their spell

The songs of Danny Galway

In words he paints a vivid scene

Of places you may not have been

Yet listen and you’re moved to swear

I know that house, I’ve climbed the stair

I’ve shared those overwhelming feelings

I’ve suffered loss, I’ve known such joy

Emotions we all know are burnished till they glow

In the songs of Danny Galway

His melodies inspired whims

His chord changes like Baptist hymns

He’ll lift your spirit till its soars

Till you forget that spirit’s yours

Sound and word in sweet communion

Echoes of a better world

Where chivalry’s not dead, go look for it instead

In the songs of Danny Galway

Chivalry’s not dead, go look for it instead

In the songs of Danny Galway

Something well and pure forever will endure

In the songs of Danny Galway
