Damien Lyrics & Tabs by Paul Tiernan
Damien
guitar chords lyrics
Damien talks and we all listen,
that's all there is to do,
to take what is given
Travel, boys, will make you grow
And we all think and say is that so
Girls, he says, are sent to try our faith
but such beautiful creatures couldn't be a mistake
And the sun comes up and then it goes down,
like a golden pendulum that always comes around
Damien slips through the eye of a needle,
with his book of words on a horse but not a camel,
The sun will burn you up but the rain won't hurt you,
let's take a walk to the edge of town
The poolhall's empty now,
no click of balls, no neon flickers on an empty cause
let's take a walk to the edge of town
The poolhall's empty now,
no click of balls, no neon flickers on an empty cause
And the sun comes up and then it goes down,
like a heavenly messenger that always comes around
Damien takes us down by the water,
with an old beer can he fills us full of grace
It's warm but it's not summer as we sit by the bonfire
and watch this world go up in smoke
Repentance doesn't matter he says,
sombody made that up,
just walk with me into the water and let it fill you up
And the sun comes up and then it goes down
on an empty beach near Dublin
with the tide still going out
