Your skin is cold
But the sun shines within your hold
Your hair is gold
But you see through goldfish bowl
I feel old, sick, and tired
We walk the streets
Gently staring, wondering what to do
The sun in sheets
Pouring down on streets to eyes green and blue
And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend
Or a heard of bulls charging stoplights red
I'd be blind

You broke my heart, Danny boy
Not your fault, Danny boy
I was had at the doorstep
Played, like a two to a four-set
Had, like poor Job in the bible by God

Day comes, I wake
I wake with a hard heartache
I go down to your place
We sit and chat
Chat about New York and trips through the bayou
My smile, a trick
Tricking me and trying not to scare you
And a ship with eight sails could come 'round the bend
Or a heard of bulls charging stoplights red
I'd be blind

You broke my heart, Danny boy
Not your fault, Danny boy
I was had at the doorstep
Played, like a two to a four-set
Had, like poor Job in the bible by God

For
I was had at the doorstep
Hanged, like a two to a four-set
Played, like poor Job in the bible by God
