Brian Mackey - Dublin Night Bird Lyrics

I was tired from the road
Feelin' lost, feelin' low
I was lookin' for a place
To rest my son

Wanted out of the city
Outta St. Stephens Green
With the junkies
Cause it's really not my scene

Never heard such a sound
Without light on the ground
Never heard such a noise
And at first I was annoyed
By the Dublin night bird

And no one knows how far I fall
No one knows how far I fell here alone

I was ridin' down the road
With a box of a soul
So I stopped for a sleep
Saw a sign that read Derry Bawn Bridge

Heard a knock on the window
Tellin' me it's time to go
Don't you know that you're in the holiest place
In all this land

Never heard such a sound
Without light on the ground
Never heard such a noise
And at first I was annoyed

And no one knows who's flyin' with me
No one knows my son's in a box on the seat
And no one knows how far I fall
No one knows how far I fell here alone

And I'm alone in the shadow of the sun
Got a box under the bridge Derry Bawn
It'll go from my hands
Cause it wants to be free
Saw the dust in the air
Breathing back at me

In the Glendalough sun
From the Derry Bawn Bridge
In the Glendalough sun
Was a Dublin night bird
In the Glendalough sun"
