(Intro)  –  –  – 


The moon it whispers 

My own voice 
                         
That screamed just a day ago

Reminds me of when I still 
Had the choice 
That I could stay or I could go 

Now I sit here and I 
Smoke with you 
New friend you're growing old 

Pre-Chorus (Whistle)
 –  –  –  –  –  – 

(chorus in Gaelic) 
 –  –  – 
 –  –  – 
 –  –  – 
 –  –  

Interlude ( –  –  – )

So if you see me 
In the wind 
Please think twice before you let me in 

I only smile just to 
Ease the pain 
You think it's a smile brother I think it's a stain 

Pre-Chorus (Whistle)
 –  –  –  –  –  – 

(chorus in Gaelic) 

       
Tomorrow will have trouble 
            
Surprising me 
                            
Today he took all of his casualties 
    
Yesterday left most of
             
My memory then 
                 
But today was not a day forgiven


Interlude ( –  –  – )

(without Gaelic)

       
Tomorrow will have trouble 
            
Surprising me 
                            
Today he took all of his casualties 
    
Yesterday left most of
             
My memory then 
                 
But today was not a day forgiven

(Gaelic enters)

       
Tomorrow will have trouble 
            
Surprising me 
                            
Today he took all of his casualties 
    
Yesterday left most of
             
My memory then 
                 
But today was not a day forgiven
